Supporting children to feel safe, understood, and supported.
Children who come to Cuan Saor with their mothers are provided with dedicated support to help them understand and process their experiences of domestic abuse.
Every child experiences abuse differently, and our approach ensures each child feels safe, heard, and supported in their own way.
“Every child deserves to feel safe, loved, and free from fear.”
Our childcare workers create a safe and nurturing space where children can explore their feelings and begin to understand their experiences.
Our childcare workers create a warm, secure environment where children can explore their feelings and begin to understand their experiences at their own pace.
We follow each child’s lead, allowing them to express themselves in ways that feel comfortable through talking, play, or creative activities.
We support mothers in understanding how domestic abuse can impact children, helping them strengthen their parenting during challenging times.
Many women experience domestic abuse, and we hear from women every day who are living in fear whether during or after a relationship.
If something doesn’t feel right, trust that feeling. Help is available.
“You are not alone. We hear from women every day who are living in fear and we can help.”
If you are in immediate danger, call our 24-hour helpline or reach out to local authorities. You are not alone help is available right now.
Small but meaningful actions can make a real difference to how a child feels during a difficult time.
Listen carefully and let your child speak in their own time without pressure.
Acknowledge that it may feel scary or confusing and that’s completely valid.
Reassure them clearly and consistently
that it is not their fault.
Remind them they are not responsible for what is happening between adults.
Let them know it’s okay to feel upset, angry, or confused all feelings are welcome here.
Reassure them regularly that they are loved, valued, and supported unconditionally.
