According to research carried out by Women’s Aid, one in seven (14.2%) of children and young people under the age of 18 will have experienced domestic abuse at some point in their childhood.

As part of our series of blogs supporting 16 days of Action Against Domestic Violence, we focus on the impact of domestic abuse on the mental health of victims.

Emotional abuse is a grey area within the realm of abuse as many people don’t know what constitutes emotional abuse or how it is perpetrated on an individual. Victims of emotional abuse believe that abuse is a ‘strong’ word and don’t think they are ‘abused’ but this is far from the truth.

During the COVID-19 pandemic our Family team have seen an increase in domestic abuse cases with an increasing number of those being subjected to abuse being men.
