How can this service help?

The partner or family of a survivor often feels completely at a loss to know how to deal with the rape or sexual abuse of a loved one. Our family support service gives you an opportunity to talk through your concerns and anxieties with a trained family support worker.



Families of survivors can access this service regardless of whether the survivor is being supported by RASASC or not. This service is suitable for family or close friends of any survivor, whether an adult or young person.

What is family support?

Our Family Support Service offers weekly one-to-one sessions in a safe, supportive space. It provides emotional support to families and carers of those who have been affected by rape and sexual abuse.


This is a safe and confidential space for you to talk about what has happened.

You can use this space to process your thoughts and emotions about their trauma. The aim is to help you to explore what you and the survivor need, to come to terms with what happened and the impact and for you to be positive about the future.
