Domestic Violence Outreach Clinic

 
oung Rebecca from Greystones Family Resource Centre has been in touch about a new weekly clinic.

Organised in association with Bray Women’s Refuge, this domestic violence outreach clinic is held in a secret location and will offer confidential advice, support and information from a qualified worker.

Over to Rebecca…

You may have noticed an increase in focus on violence against women recently in both traditional and social media.

As we know, with Covid 19 and its restrictions there has been a significant increase in calls to domestic violence helplines and greater pressure on the services available. We are currently working with Bray Women’s Refuge to host an outreach clinic in our centre. This will run every Friday, from 10am to 1pm, increasing from once a month.

Bray Women’s Refuge offer a number of supports to the Greystones community which as well as this clinic include:

• 24-hour Helpline at 012866163, seven days a week for confidential advice and support

• Safety Planning

• Outreach Services

• Court Accompaniment

To attend the clinic, please get in touch with them on their 24-hour number 012866163 or 0850597560 to organise a meeting with their outreach worker. The clinics are also at Little Bray (every second Monday), Oldcourt (every second Monday), Wicklow Town (Thursdays) and Arklow (Tuesdays), all from 10am to 1pm.

You can also reach out to Greystones Family Resource Centre directly on 012557528 or development@greystonesfrc.ie.

You can also take refuge at any time in Boots’ Greystones branch. Details here.
