The DVAS helpline offers confidential information and support to women (and their friends & family) who are experiencing, or have experienced, domestic violence.
DVAS provide a one to one support service where a woman can meet a trained and experienced worker in a safe and confidential setting.
If you have no access to transport, or for another reason you cannot use our Sligo or Carrick on Shannon offices, a support worker will meet with you at a safe place that you choose.
DVAS offers court accompaniment to women who are seeking access to safety or other rights through the courts so that you are not as vulnerable to intimidation and can discuss and clarify what is happening.
Advocacy is when a worker actively works with you to help you access your rights and entitlements more easily. We will engage with others on your behalf to try to get them to understand the seriousness of your situation and get the response you want.
