Laurel House Sexual Assualt support

If you or someone you know has experienced sexual assault or sexual abuse, you can reach out for help.

For you:
I have been sexually assaulted
Something happened in my relationship or family
Something happened to me as a child
Something happened to me in my workplace
It’s not your fault. We are here to help you.

It is not your fault.
You do not have to do this on your own.
We understand that it can be difficult to reach out and ask for help when you have experienced sexual assault or sexual abuse.

The way people respond following sexual assault can be different for everyone. There is no right or wrong way to feel. Common reactions include feeling lost, scared, angry, and confused. Our counsellors will listen and support you with your recovery journey. It is your choice whether you want to talk about what happened. Sometimes people prefer to talk about the impact on their everyday life.

We can help you to work out your options and consider what you want to do next. We can also go with you if you decide to have a medical examination or to report to police. We are here to support you, and it is always your choice to decide what is right for you.
