Welcome to Survive
Survive is an organisation based in York for survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Our services are provided by volunteers and managed by our Service Co-ordinator.
The support we offer can take a variety of forms, depending on the needs of each person contacting us, including information and support, self-help groups or one-to-one meetings.
We also have information about other organisations that can offer you additional help and support. We can put you in touch with services that provide help with, for example, housing or legal advice.
We can advise men who experienced sexual abuse as children on where they can access support, and offer support to families and friends of anyone who has been sexually abused as a child.All Survive workers and volunteers are trained in listening skills and issues around child sexual abuse. They have all attended our frontline training programme.
Survive workers and volunteers will accept and value you. We will support you and listen to you. We will let you know that options are available to you through Survive and other organisations, but will always let you make the decisions about which services you use.
''Thank you so much for your help and support. I am glad I came to your centre and wish you all the best with your work''---(A survivor who called at the office for help and advice). ''I am so grateful to the Frontline Service without whom I don't think I would have survived. The most important thing that you have done for me is that you believed me'' ---(A Survivor). |
