Support for those affected by Sexual Abuse and Sexual Violence
Thankfully there are some excellent support networks and resources on this difficult topic.
We would highly recommend the NHS website as this encompasses much of the key information, including
steps to take if you think you have been sexually assaulted. It also covers attending a Sexual Assault Referral Centre,
drink spiking and how to support someone who has been assaulted.

If you have been affected by these issues in the past you might benefit from counselling. Please do contact us if you would like
details of how to self-refer to the Staffordshire wellbeing team or if you need further support.
