🧠It's Mental Health Awareness Week!
Domestic abuse can have a huge impact on your mental health. Survivors can feel isolated, anxious, and depressed long after the abuse has stopped.
This year's awareness week theme is 'Action'. Awareness is important, but action can make a huge difference - whether that's reaching out for help or offering it.
At Behind Closed Doors, we offer support for survivors of domestic abuse to heal and improve their emotional health.
If you take action today, you can help us - go to our website through the link in bio!

🗣️"To build a world where women and girls are free from violence, we need to tackle
the misinformation ... that puts us all at risk."
Domestic abuse is a problem for everyone - and can impact anyone.
We stand with the women's rights groups who have said that the weaponisation of violence against women and girls is #NotInOurName.
Their new guide provides informed suggestions on how to discuss and challenge misinformation in every-day life.

🗣️"If I hadn't had support, I don't know what I would have done"
Specialist mental health support for survivors of domestic abuse isn't just helpful - it can be life-saving.
New figures from the National Police Chiefs' Council show a 65% rise in the numbers of people who took their own lives after experiencing domestic abuse in 2024-5.
Survivors deserve better. At Behind Closed Doors, our specialist teams provide emotional and practical support to hundreds of survivors in Leeds every year.

👥How do you you know if you're being stalked?
It's easy to question yourself when you're experiencing harrassment. So, this National Stalking Awareness Week, we're highlighting the four key identifiers for stalking behaviours.
If this person's behaviour is:
- Fixated on you,
- Obsessive,
- Unwanted,
- And repeated,
You can contact Safe Steps for help to stop it, and move forward together with people who get it.
