SAFELINE

Registered Charity Number 1070854

SAFELINE is a voluntary association based in the UK which has been established by people who were themselves sexually abused as children.

SAFELINE CAN HELP YOU to FEEL SAFE

The objects of SAFELINE are to relieve suffering and advance education amongst people experiencing the after effects of the trauma of rape and sexual abuse, without distinction of gender, sexual orientation, race, colour or of political, religious or other opinions.

Childhood Sexual Abuse is not something new it has gone on for generation upon generation and has been pushed "under the carpet" for years.

Many survivors have suffered since they were children, wondering who can they tell? and will they be believed?

You may have tried to tell people when you were younger and no one listened.

You may sometimes feel dirty and guilty and also want to harm yourself.

You can sometimes feel very small and that the world is a big hostile place with nowhere for you to be safe.

You may lack confidence and have low self esteem.

SAFELINE also provides the following services in Warwickshire and Coventry:

• Counselling
• Support Groups
• Free Helpline
• Befriending
• A Free Information Pack
• A Lending Library
• A Quarterly Newsletter
• Volunteer Training
• Workshops

Support groups are available during the day in Leamington Spa and Stratford-on-Avon.

Evening groups are available in Bedworth and Warwick.

For more information on any of these services please ring the SAFELINE office on 01926 408315

SAFELINE can help you Survive Abuse, make new Friendships and Educate others.

EDUCATION

Members of SAFELINE can facilitate discussions on various topics e.g. understanding abuse, recognising the effects of abuse, how to protect children, why children don’t tell?

If you belong to a group or organisation for example pre-school associations, parents groups, women’s organisations or voluntary groups, we would like to help you understand more by facilitating group discussions and awareness training.

SAFELINE will also facilitate workshops for professionals i.e. Social Workers, Police, Child Protection Teams, Primary Health Care Teams etc.
