Researched and produced in collaboration with Paul Scates Peer Specialist, Campaigner and Survivor of Sexual Abuse, this on-demand conference focuses on the important issue of sexual abuse and mental health and reducing the impact of abuse on mental health.

“We will make sure survivors of sexual violence are given mental health support when they need it.”

UK Government March 2021

“Recent measures announced to tackle coronavirus (COVID-19), such as the order to stay at home, can cause anxiety and other mental health challenges for those who have experienced sexual violence and abuse, and worsen the suffering of those who are currently experiencing or feel at risk of sexual violence and abuse.”

Ministry of Justice 2020

“Institutional kindness, like that given to Covid-19 victims by our committed doctors and nurses, needs to be replicated in the way police, prosecutors and the courts treat victims of crime, especially the large numbers of victims who suffer from mental illness.”

The Victims Commissioner 2021
