IT was gratifying to read an article in the Hereford Times online about coercive control on March 24 (10 signs of coercive control within a relationship).
I would like to offer advice about where victims of this type of behaviour may be able to find help in our area. These organisations offer services to survivors of sexual violence or domestic abuse.
