NEW BEGINNINGS PEER SUPPORT 

New Beginnings Peer Support is a peer-led after-crisis domestic abuse service supporting women and their children who have previously been subjected to domestic abuse. We offer tailored person-centred/whole-family support and signposting to empower our clients and offer a platform from which they can experience post-traumatic growth despite the ongoing challenges they face.
