Struggling Mental Health After Trauma

Trauma can change a person’s world in an instant. Whether it stems from domestic violence, childhood abuse, loss, betrayal, or a sudden life-altering event, trauma leaves emotional imprints that can last a lifetime. It doesn’t simply fade away with time, instead, it lingers in the subconscious, replaying through intrusive memories, flashbacks, or emotional triggers that can feel impossible to escape.

What To Do If You Suspect Domestic Violence

If you suspect your neighbours are experiencing domestic violence, the best approach is cautious compassion: document what you hear, report to your landlord, and if the situation seems life-threatening, contact the police without hesitation. Remember, however, that the victim is the one who must decide when and how to seek help. For safety reasons, maintain your own safety, set boundaries, and seek advice from domestic abuse hotlines. You are not responsible for the violence, but by staying aware and prepared, you can play a role in ensuring that help reaches those who need it, without placing yourself at unnecessary danger.
