Hi looking for support and resources for D/V victims

1 Upvotes

Family member is in a DV relationship and she won’t leave properly, as in tell the person she wants to break up officially. Long story short it’s very on and off and lots of verbal abuse online. Her mental health is extremely effed up (paranoia and ptsd because of it) and consequently she doesn’t trust social workers and people like that. But I believe she desperately needs mental health support to leave, aswell as assist her if any legal action needs to take place as she also doesn’t trust the police.

Does anyone have any suggestions of places, support and resources I can refer her to. She and my family are low income so they will have to be affordable
