Somerset Phoenix Project

A specialist service supporting children, young people and their families who have experienced childhood sexual abuse.

We also support the professional development of the workforce across Somerset through consultation & training.

Our goal is to empower others to join us in mitigating the negative impact of child sexual abuse on the lives of children and families living in Somerset, so they can rebuild & thrive.

Parent/Carer Feedback

This is what parents and carers have said about our service once we have supported their child.


We understand that this is a daunting time following the discovery that your child has experienced sexual abuse. For some, it can be a chaotic time that involves a number of agencies coming in and out of your lives. We want to offer hope to all those in this position what a difference working with our service can make to your child. One mum kindly wrote this letter to us (it has been anonymised to protect their identify).

 

"To H
I just really want to say thank you so much for all your support and guidance. B has made great progress and become stronger. You have also helped me massively learn how I can best support and nurture B through her trauma. I'm very grateful for all the advice you shared with me. As a family we are all going to miss you in our own ways, but mostly I’m glad you gave B the gift of being believed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
All my love and respect
Mum"
