Hearthstone

Haringey's domestic violence advice and support centre

Hearthstone provides survivors of domestic violence in Haringey with access to all the support they will need in one place.

The centre brings together:

• Housing officers
• Victim Support volunteers
• Police Community Safety officers
• Staff from the council's Equalities and Diversity unit

The people working in Hearthstone all have considerable professional expertise of supporting survivors of domestic violence. They are able to ensure that people contact agencies at the right time and, when they do, they are adequately prepared. They are also able to make referrals for longer term support and assistance.

Advice on health and legal services can also be provided.

Importance of Hearthstone

At a difficult time in their lives, survivors can find the pressure of having to contact lots of different agencies extremely stressful. Estimates show that, on average, an individual has to contact nine different agencies to get their lives back on track. These can include the local council, police and health workers.
