Welwyn Hatfield Women’s Refuge seeks to work towards an end to violence and abuse of women and children.

Leaving a psychologically abusive relationship will never follow the normal path of a breakup.
It takes longer to heal because it involves completely rebuilding self-worth, restoring normal adrenaline levels and finding a new inner strength. All that takes time.
