‘Norfolk Says No’ to Domestic Abuse
Anyone can suffer from domestic abuse.
That’s the key message being voiced by organisations across Norfolk in a week long campaign taking place next week. (more…)
If you have an adverse reaction to any drugs, seek medical attention immediately. Be honest with medical staff about what you have taken so they can best treat you. If you’re with friends/in a group, stick together and help each other out.
If the police find you in possession of a Legal High, they will treat you as if the drug is illegal – which often means arresting you. The drug will be analysed and if found to contain an illegal drug, you will be prosecuted. If it contains a legal drug, then there are no charges.
Long-term health risks for Legal Highs are unknown; they are new and haven’t been safety tested. They are totally unregulated, and 1 in 5 contains an illegal drug.
Nobody has the right to abuse you. You may be made to feel responsible and guilty for the abuse, but the source of the problem is the abuser, not you.
Domestic violence threats are threats made within the context of an abusive relationship – threatening harm to themselves or to someone else like family or friends.
Isolation as a form of abuse happens when someone is stopping someone seeing their friends and family, keeping them inside and not letting them go out.
Financial abuse happens when someone is stealing money or bank cards, controlling finances and what someone spends, and not letting someone work.
In the UK, one in 14 children aged 11-17 (6.9%) have experienced severe physical violence at the hands of an adult.
