Help & Support
We have lots of plans for the future of RISE Scotland, including a support helpline. In the meantime, there are currently immediate ways to receive help in your situation. Take a look below, you are not alone!
Scotland’s 24 hour Domestic Abuse and Forced Marriage Helpline
If you feel scared of your partner or if you are worried about someone you know, get in touch with Scotland’s 24 hour Domestic Abuse and Forced Marriage Helpline on 0800 027 1234 email helpline@sdafmh.org.uk or visit sdafmh.org.uk. Message the text/WhatsApp service on 07401 288 595.
When you call the helpline, your call will be answered by fully trained call handlers who have lots of experience supporting people affected by domestic abuse and forced marriage.
The person who answers the phone will listen to you, support you to talk about your experience and try to find options that help you to keep you and your children safe. They can also help you to find further support, if that is what you want.
Scottish Women's Aid
Scottish Women’s Aid’s office number is 0131 226 6606. Scottish Women’s Aid does not offer frontline support for domestic abuse but instead advocates for improved response to domestic abuse and supports 33 local member organisations to deliver frontline services.
