Staying Home Leaving Violence

Leaving a domestic/family violence relationship can be hard. It may mean having to move to a new area and having to start life over with a new home, new job and new school for the kids. You may also be short on money and not in a good mental health headspace. These are only some of the reasons why women stay in an abusive relationship. Leaving the situation can be stressful and overwhelming, especially with little or no support.

The aim of the Staying Home Leaving Violence (SHLV) program is to prevent you and your children becoming homeless or having to move away from your support system of family and friends, and the school and community where you live.
