Domestic violence support services (Outreach)
If refuge isn’t suitable, we offer free community services for anyone impacted by domestic violence or abuse.
Our Outreach team provides confidential, non-judgemental support to help you understand your options, stay safe, and begin to break the cycle of violence.
Who can access our support services?
- You don’t have to leave your relationship to access support.
- You can reach out even if you’re unsure what you need.
- We help new clients, returning clients, and clients moving on from refuge.
About our Outreach services
- We work with clients in several accessible locations across South Dublin and West Wicklow.
- We provide emotional support, no matter where you are in your journey. We listen and validate your experiences of domestic violence.
Our Outreach team provides:
- One-to-one support sessions with your own dedicated Saoirse support worker.
- Domestic violence support groups, both peer-led and facilitated.
- Alternative therapies and self-care sessions to reduce stress and support emotional health.
- We explore your options - legal, housing, social welfare, rights and entitlements.
- Where appropriate, we offer referral to services provided by other organisations.
