Addressing Family Violence

Conflict in families is natural, but violence is not.

Whether you’re experiencing family violence or seeking help to change harmful behaviours, support is available. Family violence is complex, but there are pathways to healing and change for everyone involved.

At Family Life, we focus on an all-of-family approach to addressing family violence, recognising that true and lasting change comes from supporting every member of the family. By offering tailored support to both individuals and the entire family unit, we create pathways for healing, growth and transformation.

Abusive Behaviour is More Than Just Physical Violence

Family violence is not only physical assault. It also refers to a number of ways a person can dominate and control you or your children such as:

Sexual assault
Emotional and psychological torment
Financial and economic domination
Social isolation

Intimidation
Bullying
Stalking

Family violence affects people from all backgrounds. If you are looking for support, please explore the services below and reach out when you’re ready.
