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
Saturday and Sunday: Closed
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.
