    "I felt completely isolated from life as a product of living with an abusive partner. The Freedom Programme with NDAS helped me to reclaim my life and that it's ok to be me. I am not what this man had made me believe. I can honestly say that I would not know where my children and I would be without the help and support of NDAS. "
    "I've been given the tools to make changes and improve things for my children. Before I got the help from NDAS the children's needs weren't being met and I recognise that now.”
    "NDAS has given me the tools to get my life back on track and the old me has come out of hiding, I’m back, and I’m stronger and more aware than ever.”
    "The service is amazing. Me and the children wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for the support NDAS gave us."
    "NDAS can give women like me a way out of the hell and they can help us build a future with hope rather than dread. Neglecting people in abusive situations like mine is turning our backs on those most vulnerable and is creating a time-bomb for society.”
    "I had child a taken away due to abuse and thought there was no hope or reason to live. NDAS helped me and gave me hope and the positive attitude to keep going. I got my son back and I am a survivor now,"
    “Our support worker was excellent, he met with me and my son. I heard my son's side for the first time. I'm so pleased this happened as I didn't realise just how much everything that's happened has affected my children."
    “The past 10+ years have made me question myself many times: suffer, feel frightened, concerned, worried, have self-doubt. Yet 6 weeks with NDAS and those fab women have made me rethink, realise, cry, laugh and move forward.”
    “Psychological and emotional abuse is extremely cruel and damaging; you are living in a very lonely, very deep, very dark, and very damaging hell with no hope of a way out. NDAS is the only organisation I know which can help women in this situation: not just to get out of the situation, not just by giving them the support and confidence to stay out and face life alone, but most importantly by giving us the knowledge to understand what has happened. With knowledge comes power and strength; we can no longer be manipulated as before, we become aware of what is happening so can avoid it or react appropriately."
    "People need to know there's light at the end of the long dark tunnel, it’s not easy but they can do it!! We need NDAS' services as domestic violence is increasing. It is not right.”
    “Psychological and emotional abuse is extremely cruel and damaging; you are living in a very lonely, very deep, very dark, and very damaging hell with no hope of a way out."
    "The support from NDAS came at the right time for me and exceeded my expectations. I like the fact that the Practitioner was young so I didn't feel intimidated and could talk on my level. She went through all the options and I felt I had choices."
    "My daughter was in a bad place. NDAS supported her, the sessions she had really helped and she is so much better now."
    "The service is amazing. Me and the children wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for the support NDAS gave us."
    “Take away an abuser’s power of control and they are nothing, they are the ones that are scared. We are the strong ones for standing up to them.”
    "I can't think of anything or anyone that could have done better to support me. Excellent service. It's so hard to get help these days, so thankful NDAS exists as a charity."
    "NDAS was excellent. They have helped me 'come back to life'. "
    "Our support worker is truly remarkable. He helped me build a better connection with my children and enabled me to talk to them about difficult things. He used play to connect with the children and help them understand."
    “I wouldn't be here today if it hadn't been for NDAS’s support. They were the only people to reach out to me offering support. My support worker was the perfect person for me I will always be grateful for her help.”
    "I was listened to and not judged. I didn't feel intimidated."
