WHO WE ARE

VANS Domestic Abuse Recovery Service (DARS) is a ‘By and For’ counselling service run by survivors of domestic abuse and people with disabilities or who suffer from chronic pain.​

​

We provide emotional and psychological support through counselling to individuals who have experienced domestic abuse through a specialist referral pathway.​

The counsellors at DARS specialise in dealing with the unique needs of individuals who have experienced domestic abuse.  We help survivors cope with the trauma of abuse, process their experiences, and develop healthy coping mechanisms.​
