Resources

While SAFER offers initial guidance in dealing with domestic and family violence, there is a wealth of information out there to help you support survivors in your church community.

Resources

It is vital for us to be informed about domestic and family violence. SAFER offers a snapshot of the issue as a whole – there are many more ways to inform yourself and your communities so that you can better identify and support those struggling.

If you have any further suggestions of books, websites, articles, programs and more, please send us an email at [email protected].

Faith

Christian faith provides considerable guidance on how to love and care for others, and Christian faith communities can play a key role in ending violence and abuse in families.

Explore this section
Recognising

Domestic and family violence really happens in Christian families and in faith communities. Knowing what this looks like is crucial to help end it.

Explore this section
Responding

If someone in your church confides in you about abuse, your response can make the difference. Learn the difference between helping and harming.

Perpetrators

Keeping victims safe in churches means holding perpetrators accountable. It also means not ignoring their abuse, covering it up or enabling it to continue.
