This summer, we are supporting the Domestic Abuse Awareness Campaign #BehindTheSmile.

The campaign aims to raise awareness that domestic abuse is not just physical. It challenges assumptions and aims to help people recognise that domestic abuse doesn’t always look the way you might expect it to. It acknowledges that some people may present differently to the outside world whilst experiencing abuse behind closed doors.

The content directs to Compass, the domestic abuse helpline for across Essex.
