Scotland’s Domestic Abuse and Forced Marriage Helpline (SDAFMH) has launched a new SMS and WhatsApp service to support those experiencing domestic abuse or forced marriage.

The 24/7 service – available from today on 07401 288595 will be the first of its kind offering domestic abuse support in Scotland, and adds to the Helpline’s existing provision of 24/7 phone, email and web chat support.

It has been designed in partnership with survivors of domestic abuse across Scotland, including members of Scottish Women’s Aid’s Survivor Reference Group.
