On this World Suicide Prevention Day, let's highlight an often-overlooked link between domestic abuse and suicide. 1 in 4 women will experience domestic abuse in their lifetime and without support, survivors are at a significantly higher risk of suicide. Trauma, isolation and emotional devastation can lead to feelings of hopelessness and despair. Together, we can break the cycle of silence, foster safe spaces and provide support for survivors of domestic abuse, raising awareness about the connection between abuse and mental health. You never know whose life you might help save. 💜 Follow the link in the first comment to find out more about the FREEDOM and OWN MY LIFE programs, running throughout the year, from Women's Aid NEL. #SuicidePrevention #EndDomesticAbuse #YouAreNotAlone #BreakTheSilence #MentalHealthMatters

Silence makes domestic abuse worse! It lets the abuse spiral. It affects both individuals and entire families. Silence may sometimes keep you safe, but in the long run, it can affect your well-being not just regarding the future of the abusive relationship but in all other areas for your life - health, career/work, friendships, personal interests etc. Silence about abuse eats into your confidence and self-worth. Break the silence, support survivors, and raise awareness about both domestic abuse and the importance of healthy coping mechanisms. Remember, help is available. You are not alone. 💜 Seek support! #BreakTheSilence #HealthyHealing #HealthyRelationships #SelfCare #domesticabuse #abuserecovery #healing #wecandohardthings #youarenotalone #choosechange #aarti_domesticabusecoach #healthycoping #silence
