Helpline support
Our helpline number is 0121 643 4136
Our trained helpline volunteers are there to listen and support you, and those around you. They won’t judge you or give you advice; their aim is to help you with any decision you want to make.
We offer emotional support and information in the following areas:
- Dealing with the effects of sexual violence and abuse
- Referral to and information about our other services such as social groups, advocacy, counselling, and more
- Services offered by other agencies
We know it can be hard to take that first step and call; we respect this. How much you choose to discuss of your own experiences is entirely your own decision.
