What our service users say

My ISVA has supported me more than I ever thought they could. If it wasn’t for RASASC I probably wouldn’t be here today. They have helped me to do coping methods and breathing and gave me the confidence to be open and honest with people. Anytime I phoned or text they were there to help me. They made me realise that I am not the guilty one. I am not a victim; I am a survivor.

I have felt well supported by RASASC and have found the service easily accessible and has helped me process my emotions around trauma/SA. I would highly recommend this service. It has meant so much to have a safe space to be heard over these last few months. Thank you for your patience, your insight and for helping me to process some difficulty moments and find my voice again.

My ISVA must be commended for their professional skills in dealing with vulnerable victims, and for their kind and sensitive approach to their role as an ISVA. I couldn’t have coped without their support and the sense they gave me of feeling heard. They advocated on my behalf and I’m so grateful for that.

My counsellor has helped me shift the blame and shame of my abuse to the other side and helped me breathe and feel lighter.
