SUPPORT FOR ALLIES

for individuals supporting a survivor or someone who has experienced sexual assault/rape in their life

We offer 1-1 survivor support sessions for individuals supporting a survivor or someone who has experienced sexual assualt/rape in their life, as well as group support for families, friends, and others who want to learn as a community how to better support and show up for someone they are caring for.

These sessions provide a space to explore what radical care and survivor support can look like in a more personalised, intimate, and concentrated way. Sessions can be one-off or part of a series of personalised, tailored discussions to explore what you most need and want.

We will discuss with you what particular focus you want to address, how you work best in terms of structure and approach, and explore any needs or barriers you may have within learning.

We can explore things such as

Different ways to provide emotional and practical support to a survivor in your life.
Unpacking your own internalised sexism, beliefs and ideas of safety so you don’t let it impact your support or care.
Understanding the dos and don’ts of supporting survivors.
Help you navigate support systems, support services or the CJS.
Building a personal support plan tailored to your situation.
Processing your own emotional response to supporting a survivor and helping you to understand and ask questions around any things that might not be appropriate to ask them.

Pricing

One-off sessions are £60 for 1-1 or £90 for groups of up to 3, or for a series of three or more sessions, £50/£80 per session.
