Domestic Abuse Support - We Can Help You

We have a range of different options we can offer based on your individual circumstances.

LGBTQ+ Independent Domestic Violence Advisors - Our Independent Domestic Violence Advisors (IDVAs) provide support to LGBTQ+ people currently at high risk of Domestic Abuse from partner(s), ex-partner(s), or family members. This includes support for LGBTQ+ people who are experiencing or are at risk of honour-based violence/abuse (HBVA), forced marriage, stalking, and coercive controlling behaviours.

Reclaim Team - Our Reclaim team offers support to those who are currently or have previously experienced Domestic Abuse from a partner(s), ex-partner(s), or family member(s) and may not require support from an IDVA.

You will be allocated your own dedicated caseworker who will provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental environment where you can discuss the issues you have been experiencing and support you to make informed decisions about your situation.

Safe at Home is run by Portsmouth City Council. We’ve been offering technologies to help people live safely at home for over 10 years, and our teams are committed to helping people live full and independent lives.

As well as being experts at what we do, the income we make is invested straight back into local services – meaning that we can help more people in Portsmouth to live well at home.
