Domestic Violence Support
Have you or are you currently experiencing domestic violence and want some support and guidance? Can we help?
‘My Sister’s Place’ is a specialist women’s advice centre staffed with an all female team offering information, practical and emotional support. All our staff are trained domestic violence practitioners and understand the issues and concerns of women who are living in, contemplating leaving or who have left an abusive relationship.
We know that women often approach up to ten different agencies for advice and support and ‘My Sister’s Place’ aims to reduce the stress and difficulties this can bring by being a ‘one-stop’ shop and providing access to all appropriate agencies.
We operate on an appointment basis but do have a drop-in crisis service if your situation is urgent. Our appointments usually last around 40 minutes and we aim to complete an initial assessment of yout needs within this time.
The staff at ‘My Sister’s Place’ can support you through a range of issues and help you to see the best way forward. We make no judgement of your choices or your situation, we aim to ensure you are safe and that someone is working for you. We can refer you to other services which may be of benefit to you such as the Sanctuary Scheme, Freedom Programme or Counselling. We have developed good working partnerships with many agencies within Middlesbrough and can offer support to all women regardless of your culture, faith or sexuality.
