Social Guardian for Family and Friends

Family and friends often suffer too when a loved one is experiencing domestic abuse. It is difficult for the person at the receiving end of abuse to understand why it is happening and even more difficult for family and friends to watch and be powerless, or deal with the shock of not knowing at all or spotting the signs. This programme explores what domestic abuse is and the effects and will help you to understand why women stay so long and how they get caught up in a cycle of abuse.
