Domestic abuse damages women's mental health and makes them vulnerable to isolation, PTSD, depression, self-harm and suicide. A woman's emotional needs are often side-lined due to practical issues she faces such as finding a safe home and dealing with police and court. Woman's Trust exists to ensure that women's mental health is not ignored. We provide free services: 1-to-1 counselling, support groups and workshops; thereby helping women regain the strength they need to move forward.
