Adults

Domestic abuse reaches into every postcode in Kent and Medway. The people who contact Oasis are teachers, nurses, electricians, CEOs, shopkeepers, influencers, parents, uncles, sisters – people living with debilitating confusion and often fear.

Nearly half – 46% – of the adults we supported told us they had considered ending their life before reaching us. They are now on a different path.

This is the result of intensive, expert, trauma-informed support over weeks and months.

“This service changed my life. The assessment I had brought it home how dangerous a situation I was in and that I wasn’t overreacting or being a drama queen, as I was told on many occasions by my abuser.”

Children & Young People

Domestic abuse is never only about the adults involved. Children absorb fear, confusion, and trauma that, without help, can shape the rest of their lives. Nationally we are also seeing that cases of abuse are growing faster in teenagers than any other age group. Intervening early, with compassion and expertise, can change the entire trajectory of a young person’s future.

91%
children reported positive effect on their mental health

giving them language, safety, and hope where before there was only confusion and fear.

74%
reported improved relationship with non-abusive parent

helping families repair the bonds that abuse can damage.

“I knew straight away that I was able to talk to [my mentor]. She’s really helped me to feel happier and more settled in my new school and hometown.”

Wider community

The effects of domestic abuse ripple outwards into schools, workplaces, hospitals, and communities. The teacher who notices a change in a child. The colleague who senses something is wrong. The GP who is often the first person someone tells… Our prevention work to equip those around survivors to recognise the signs, respond empathetically, and know where to turn plays a huge role in breaking the cycle of abuse.

The journey from crisis to freedom

While no two people’s experience is alike, our support follows a consistent path, from that first call to a new life lived safely.
