Domestic Abuse Service, East Sussex (Change Grow Live)

Many people experiencing domestic abuse will have a wide range of other support needs, often as a result of the abuse they have experienced or exacerbated by the abuse. Our Multi Complex needs Independent Domestic Violence Adviser (IDVA) looks at the person, considering all of their needs. Victims with complex needs require flexibility and specialist support that meets their individual needs. This support improves their long-term safety and wellbeing. Additional needs are likely to be substance use, mental health, homelessness, exploitation, offending, trauma, and/or poverty, alongside domestic abuse.
