Happy Halloween 🎃🎃🎃

Halloween can be exciting for many, but for others, unexpected knocks, loud noises and busy streets can bring feelings of anxiety or distress.

A few gentle reminders this Halloween:

●You don't have to answer the door. It's okay not to welcome trick-or-treaters if unexpected visitors make you uncomfortable.

●You don't have to participate. It's perfectly okay to skip Halloween celebrations.

•Create a calm space. Close the curtains, play familiar music or find a quiet room if fireworks or shouting feel overwhelming.

●Celebrate in a way that feels right for you.

If you're experiencing domestic abuse or feeling unsafe at home, remember that our support is available throughout the weekend 💜

Healthy relationships start with education. 💜

Talking to young people about respect, boundaries and consent can help them recognise healthy relationships and identify behaviours that aren't okay.

At Drogheda Women & Children's Refuge, our Child & Youth Services support children and young people affected by domestic abuse. Through our CourAGEus programme, we also provide education on healthy relationships, consent and recognising warning signs.

Give your clothes a second life.

Donating pre-loved clothing is a simple way to keep good-quality clothes in use for longer and reduce what ends up in landfill.

And when you donate to us, it does even more. Your donations help raise funds through our Pop-Ups to support women and children experiencing domestic abuse.

If you’re having a wardrobe clear-out, we’d love if you thought of us.

When someone tells you they are experiencing domestic abuse, how you respond can make a real difference.

Listen without judgement. Believe what they tell you and avoid questioning why they have stayed or telling them what they “should” do. Leaving an abusive relationship can be complex and may increase risk, so it is important not to pressure someone into making decisions before they are ready.

Instead, ask what they need. Remind them that support is available and respect their choices. You don’t need to have all the answers to be supportive.

If you are worried about someone, you can also contact a specialist domestic abuse service for information and guidance.
