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.
The most important message you can give your child is that you do not blame them and that you do believe them. This is the foundation on which a child can start to believe that what happened was not their fault, and they can express their feelings and start to come to terms with them. This is the beginning of a pathway to recovery.
