Acorns offers a free and confidential support service for children and young people between the ages of 4 and 18 who have been affected by domestic abuse in North Tyneside and Northumberland. We understand that domestic abuse and relationships can be very difficult to talk about. Acorns provides a safe space to make sense of your experiences and support your recovery. Your voice is important and we will work with you to find the best way to help you, recognising that everyone is different.
