How we help

Specialist, trauma-informed support

ESDAS provides specialist, trauma-informed support to anyone aged 16 or over living or working in Reigate & Banstead, Tandridge, or Mole Valley who has been affected by domestic abuse. This includes all forms of abuse – physical, emotional, sexual, financial, and technology-facilitated abuse – regardless of gender, sexuality, religion, or mental and physical health.

Our approach is strengths-based, needs-led, and survivor-centric. We offer free, confidential, non-judgmental, and independent services where survivors are believed, listened to, and supported both emotionally and practically. Support may include:

  • Risk assessment and safety planning.
  • Housing and benefits advice.
  • Support around children and young people affected by abuse.
  • Guidance on legal options.
  • Digital and technology safety advice.
