If you're suffering from domestic abuse, you are not alone.

There are many organisations across South Yorkshire working hard to support victims of abuse through the coronavirus pandemic.

You can call the police on 101, or 999 if it's an emergency. If it's not safe to call, you can report online here.

But there's also support from charities and organisations who can offer advice, guidance, mental health support and practical help if you want to flee from an abuser.
