Children and Young People
For a child or young person who has domestic abuse in their family it can be a very upsetting and confusing time. At Women’s Aid we have children and young people support workers who can support you through this very difficult time.
Please take some time to read through this page and it will help you understand more about domestic abuse and what Argyll and Bute Women’s Aid can do for the children and young people affected by it. If you are or have been affected by domestic abuse the most important thing to remember is IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT.
