Seeking help when experiencing domestic violence can raise many questions and uncertainties: Who can I turn to? What happens when I talk about my situation? And what options do I have if I still don’t know what to do next?
In the first episode of our podcast, a staff member from a women’s counselling centre and a police officer from Düsseldorf discuss the first steps people affected by domestic violence can take and what to expect when contacting professional support services.
The episode explores different forms of domestic violence, the support available through counselling centres and the options offered by the police. It also addresses fears, financial dependence, children and family pressures that can make decisions more difficult.
The episode aims to provide guidance, ease uncertainty and show that seeking support does not mean you have to know or have decided on all the next steps already.
