Anna* first came to Aviva several years ago and actually participated in our first ever adult education group. Although things were “great for a long time,” this past year, her eldest son started to repeat behaviors he’d learnt from his father as a child, putting Anna and her other children in danger.
“I tried by myself to get legal help, but I was just going round in circles. But when I came to Aviva, I was in the right place. My support worker was really supportive; I could talk to her and tell her everything. She always made sure that there was something Aviva could do to help.”
