What we do
AWARE provides confidential information and support to women, children and young people who have experienced domestic abuse and live in Angus.

You can contact us by phone or arrange to meet a worker at a safe time and place.

Our staff are trained and experienced in working with women, children and young people who have been abused.

We understand how difficult it is for a woman to come forward and that she may be frightened for her own and her children’s safety.

AWARE is an independent organisation but we work closely with other agencies including police, NHS, housing departments and schools. This means that we know who to contact and what help is available in Angus.

AWARE will offer support whether or not a woman wants to stay with her partner and whether or not she lives in one of our refuges.

We understand that many women do not want to leave their own home or their partner. We will work with a woman to help her find ways to keep herself and her children safe.
