Are you in a safe place to read this? If you're worried about someone finding out that you've been to this site, the safest thing to do is use a computer that they don't have access to - a friend's or relative's computer, a school computer, or a computer at a public library. If this is not possible, read this article from The Hideout about deleting things from the browser history.

Hello and welcome!

This blog is a safe space blog for child survivors of domestic violence.
On the Better Health website, they say that "Family violence can mean lots of different things – it’s not just being hit. There are different kinds of violence that can happen in the home. The violence may be directed at one of your parents, at you or your sisters and brothers or at other people who may be living with you." (Family violence is the same thing as domestic violence).
Go here for more information. If this is happening to you, there are many ways you can get help. You can:

• Talk to a trusted adult - this might be a family member, a teacher, a doctor, a school counsellor, or a friend's parent.
• Talk to the police - if it is an emergency, you can call 000
• Call Kids Helpline- 1800 55 1800
• Call the Domestic Violence Hotline in - 1800 65 64 63 in NSW
• Call Lifeline - 131 114

Remember that you don't have to deal with this alone!

The aim of this blog is to provide resources, fun projects, and encouragement to children who are survivors of domestic violence. I hope that this blog is helpful to you.

Thanks and stay safe,
Lucy.
