Children do not have the same abilities as adults to talk about how they feel or what they have experienced.

Children are impacted by direct physical trauma as well as witnessing a significant person in their life being abused.

Each child reacts differently yet all show the impact through behaviours in different environments.

This service is available by appointment by calling our office on 97918665 or e-mail outreach@swrefuge.com.au.
For emergency assistance please call the South West Refuge on 97912894.

Staff of the Outreach service are able to travel to outlying towns to meet with families needing assistance for all issues related to domestic/family violence.
