Resources
While SAFER offers initial guidance in dealing with domestic and family violence, there is a wealth of information out there to help you support survivors in your church community.
Content warning This page involves descriptions and discussion of the experiences and impacts of domestic and family violence. Some survivors might find its content troubling.
It is vital for us to be informed about domestic and family violence. SAFER offers a snapshot of the issue as a whole – there are many more ways to inform yourself and your communities so that you can better identify and support those struggling.
If you have any further suggestions of books, websites, articles, programs and more, please send us an email at [email protected].
