Family and domestic violence occurs when a person uses fear to control other members of their family through violent and abusive acts.
While some are visible, such as violence that causes physical injury, others are much more difficult to recognise, for example financial abuse.
If you’re affected or impacted by family and domestic violence, it’s nothing to be ashamed about.
