You can also contact the National Stalking Helpline for advice on 0808 802 0300.

Stalking can affect anyone. However, the majority of stalking cases involve domestic abuse, with offenders being ex-partners.

Safer Steps is an inclusive service that supports victim-survivors to stay safe from stalking across West Yorkshire.

This #NationalStalkingAwarenessWeek, we’re drawing attention to what stalking is, and how to get help. 📢

Stalking is a pattern of fixated, obsessive, unwanted and repeated behaviour that causes a victim-survivor to feel fear or distress. It can happen in person or online, known as cyberstalking.

🚧Not understanding your rest cues
🚧Not knowing how to switch off and rest
🚧Rumination, thoughts, feelings, critical self talk, 'shoulds'
🚧Fighting the need to rest

#StressAwarenessMonth #BeTheChange

Staying Put responds to new BBC investigation into corrupt immigration advisers - Staying Put We at Staying Put recognise that recent BBC investigation coverage may be distressing or triggering, particularly for those who have experienced domestic abuse.

We are concerned that the way this issue has been addressed risks increasing fear, stigma and scrutiny towards migrant survivors, who are often already in incredibly vulnerable situations and may feel unsafe or unheard.

We at Staying Put recognise that recent BBC investigation coverage may be distressing or triggering, particularly for those who have experienced domestic abuse or are supporting someone who has.
