NDAS offers practical and emotional support to victims of domestic abuse throughout Northumberland. We can help you develop a safety plan, find a temporary refuge or safe housing, discuss and organize legal options, and support you to regain confidence and independence. Domestic abuse happens to women, men, straight, lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people. NDAS is here to support anyone affected by any type of domestic violence or abuse. It can happen at any stage in life. It does not just mean physical abuse, and it can involve verbal, psychological, sexual, and financial control. We aim to raise awareness within communities and in wider society, to challenge abusive behaviors, tackle stigma, and shift norms around violence and abuse.
