Who we support
We provide support to anyone impacted by sexual abuse from age 8 and upwards. Anyone else impacted by abusive relationships/domestic abuse can access support via the 24/7 Domestic and Sexual Abuse Helpline on 0808 802 1414 help@dsahelpline.org, or via dsahelpline.org. Anyone in need of immediate support before making a referral to Nexus or whilst waiting for Nexus support to commence can also contact the Helpline at any time of day, any day of the year.
Children & Young People’s Counselling Update
We are pleased to inform that as of Thursday 1st February 2024 we have resumed our referrals from children aged 8+ as counsellor capacity has now increased and we are working hard to triage and prioritise referrals to the most appropriate supports available. Unfortunately referrals from children under this age are still unavailable until appropriate funding becomes available for this age group. Please note a waiting list will be in place as we work through the children who were already waiting.
