Our journey to empowerment and healing
Welcome to Putastop2dv, a compassionate and trauma-informed support service dedicated to empowering survivors of domestic and family violence (DFV), sexual assault, and abuse in Brisbane, Australia. Our journey began with a deeply personal experience, igniting a passion to walk alongside you with respect, confidentiality, and unwavering support during the toughest times in your life.
A survivor's unwavering commitment
My name is Leonie, and my personal journey as a domestic violence survivor inspired the foundation of Putastop2dv. This lived experience, combined with my qualifications as a counsellor and support worker, fuels our dedication. I understand the profound challenges you face, and it's this understanding that drives our mission to provide the comprehensive and empathetic support you deserve.
Comprehensive support, when you need it most
At Putastop2dv, we understand that escaping and recovering from domestic violence or sexual assault can be one of the most volatile and challenging periods of your life. We are here to provide every kind of support you need, from one-on-one counselling and emotional assistance to advocacy, safety planning, court support, and practical help with financial applications. Our goal is to meet you exactly where you are, offering a full range of specialist services to guide you towards safety and healing.
Your safe space, free from judgement
The most important message we want you to take away about Putastop2dv is that there is absolutely no judgement here. We offer a safe, confidential, and empathetic space where you can share your experiences and receive the tailored support you need without fear.
