The @policeservice.ni released statistics surrounding the number of domestic abuse calls they received over the Christmas and New Year period. For many, the festive season amplifies the cycle of abuse, with heightened stress leading to more tension and incidents.
🧵

[Domestic and Sexual Abuse Helpline @dsahelpline]

Abuse follows a recurring pattern: tension builds, an incident occurs, followed by reconciliation and a brief honeymoon phase before the cycle repeats. Understanding this cycle is the first step toward breaking it.

We're here 24/7 everyday.

You will be heard. You will be believed.💛🖤
