In this post, we have reviewed and detailed the best domestic abuse helplines in the United Kingdom. The aim of this post is to assist people experiencing domestic abuse by signposting them to the most appropriate helplines for their individual needs. All of these services are free and 100% confidential.
Those affected by domestic abuse may be overwhelmed by the sheer number of free helplines. This post aims to remove this sense of overwhelm and assist these vulnerable people in seeking out the best available free help on offer.
These five domestic abuse helplines all exist to help people through times of crisis. Thousands of men, women and children suffer from domestic abuse, and there is an overwhelming need for services of this nature.
Many of these helplines are operated by volunteers who have themselves suffered from domestic abuse in the past. This means many helpline advisors are able to connect and truly understand what callers are going through due to domestic abuse.
We now list five of these domestic abuse helplines alphabetically. We hope you enjoy reading this post.
