Social services provides help and support
to people
who have been treated violently
by someone close to them.
Someone close could be
parents, children, siblings,
relatives or a partner.
Someone close could also be
staff members at a home,
a personal assistant
or a guardian.
Social services can help you
contact a psychologist
so that you can talk
about what has happened.
If you have been threatened
and cannot stay at home,
social services can help you
get to a shelter.
A shelter could be
an apartment or a room
where you can stay
while you need help.
Call the municipality and say
that you want to talk
to social services.
Search on the internet
for the phone number
to your municipality.
You can ask someone
to help you find the number.
For example, a friend
or a staff member.
