About the Leaving Violence Program

A person looking angry and raising their fist. In front of them is a person looking upset.

The Leaving Violence Program supports people who are experiencing violence from a partner and want to leave.

2 people together. One person has their arm around the other person. Above them is a love heart.

A partner is someone you have a romantic relationship with.

For example:

  • a boyfriend or girlfriend
  • a husband or wife.

The program can support you:
A calendar showing an arrow pointing to the left.
  • before you leave your partner
A person walking out a door.
  • after you have left your partner.
A group of people with different genders.

The program is for people of any gender.
A person thinking. Above them is a thought bubble with an image of them inside it.

Your gender is what you feel and understand about who you are as a person.

You might think of yourself as a man or woman or something different.

You can choose the words that are right for you.
2 people with their arms around each other. Above them is a love heart.

The program is also for people of any sexuality.

Your sexuality is about the genders you are attracted to.
A person being held in someone's hands. Above them is a safety icon.
