Sexual Assault or Abuse

Sexual Assault or Abuse

Survive, the Sexual Assault and Sexual Abuse Service, offers a free, non-judgmental and confidential service for adults, children over the age of four, and close family members or significant others, who have been affected by sexual assault or abuse at any point during their lives.

Services include a local helpline, counselling and a specialist ‘cope and recover’ support and advocacy service for victims, as well as support for close family members and significant others. 

Survive is accessible, simple to navigate and prevents victims having to repeat their story on multiple occasions. You don’t need to have reported your crime to the Police to receive support.

Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARC) offer free, confidential healthcare and compassionate support to adults and children who have experienced sexual assault, including rape.

Services include 24/7/365 acute trauma-informed healthcare and support, immediate over-the-phone support, in-person crisis support and healthcare including access to medications if needed, comprehensive forensic medical examinations and risk assessments.
