Domestic Violence Service

Domestic Violence Service

There is a place in Townsville called the Domestic Violence Resource Service. The workers at this place are there to help people who have lived with violence. It is their job to listen to how people feel and to talk about the things that can be done to stop the violence from happening.  

There are workers especially for children who have lived with violence, and for the person who looks after them. This part of the DOMESTIC VIOLENCE service is called the Aardvarc Program.
