Domestic violence prevention work

We offer support and advice for victims of intimate partner or family violence, as well as for women who use violence.

You can access guidance and counselling related to intimate partner and domestic violence in all municipalities in our region. You will always receive a personalised service that suits your situation.

In the Omatila unit in Espoo, we help you recognise the signs of domestic violence, to cope with what you have experienced and to leave violence behind you. Through us, you can also access conversational help, advice and professionally instructed peer support groups. If necessary, we can offer Espoo residents safe housing or we can refer you to a shelter for battered family members to break the cycle of violence. The service also helps women who use violence in intimate relationships.

Conditions for receiving the Service

The service is open to all residents of the wellbeing services county who have experienced intimate partner violence or domestic violence or the threat thereof. The Omatila service in Espoo is only intended for Espoo residents. The service also helps women who use violence in their intimate relationships. The aim is to expand the operations to cover all residents of the wellbeing services county.
The service is free of charge.
