The damage caused by child abuse doesn’t always end in childhood. We offer support to adult survivors and training for those who support them. We run support groups when there is funding to do so.
Call our free, confidential support line:
0808 801 0331
Monday to Thursday: 10 AM – 9 PM
Friday: 10 AM – 6 PM

The best time to get through is between 5 PM and 9 PM, as call volumes are higher at other times.
If you want to talk about what you experienced in childhood and how it is affecting you now, you can call or email our support team.
NAPAC’s booklets offer essential guidance for survivors of childhood abuse, their supporters, and professionals.
If you’re having a flashback or panic attack, or want to learn how to manage them, we have a page that covers the basics of grounding.
Support for adult survivors of childhood abuse is available across the UK through voluntary, statutory and private sectors.
Options include counselling, peer support, trauma-informed therapies, and specialist organisations offering guidance, advocacy and recovery resources.
Many survivors of childhood abuse share common concerns and questions as they navigate their healing journey.
We recommend a selection of books and reports from trusted sources that provide valuable insights into trauma, recovery, and supporting survivors of abuse.
If you’re looking for male-centred support or want to find out more about how many men are affected by childhood abuse, our male survivors page is a good place to start.
If you’re a young adult or you experienced abuse at the hands of your peers, you might find the resources on our page useful. There’s also signposting for under-18s.
NAPAC has developed facilitated psycho-educational support groups for survivors of childhood abuse, offering a unique opportunity to learn, connect and advance your recovery.
