Individual Support
Asking for help can feel hard, but you don’t have to go through this alone. Our family violence counselling and support service provides a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space to talk about what you are going through.
Our counsellors are trained in trauma-informed care and understand family violence.
They will:
- Listen and believe you.
- Help you look at your options and make your own choices.
- Support your well-being and recovery.
- Link you with other help if you need it.
Every woman’s story is different. Whether you are living with violence now, thinking about leaving, or healing from the past, we are here to walk beside you.
You deserve to feel safe, respected and supported.

Group Programs
Our group programs give women a safe place to talk, share and learn together. We explore topics like healthy relationships, the impact of abuse, your rights, and ways to build hope and strength.
The Shark Cage Program is an eight-week program for women who have experienced family violence. It helps build confidence, set boundaries, practice self-care and recognise unhealthy patterns – all in a supportive and respectful space.

Community Education
We believe that knowledge is crucial if we are to end violence against women and children. Yemaya provides information sessions on family violence to schools and community groups with a focus on prevention through awareness.
Please get in touch with us if you would like to discuss.
