Domestic abuse includes any incident or pattern of controlling, coercive or threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those aged 16 or over who are, or have been, partners or family members, regardless of gender or sexuality. This can encompass, but is not limited to, the following types of abuse – psychological, physical, sexual, financial or emotional.
You can call THH in confidence on 020 7364 5015 and we will put you through to your housing officer or a member of their team. They will arrange to meet with you face to face and talk to you about what we can do to help. If THH cannot help you directly, we can refer you to organisations that can, with your consent.
