feelings at their own pace away from the distraction of day to day life that

Additional Information The
Centre is a service provided for women and girls by women. Most important to
how we work is our aim to offer girls and women who seek our support a ‘women
only safe place’ where they are able to feel as comfortable as possible. To
ensure that this is the experience of all our clients we are unable to
accommodate men in the Centre. We thank you for your understanding of this. Supporting a survivor of sexual violence
can raise concerns in all of us as to how best to do this. It can be especially
difficult if the person doing the supporting is having to deal with their own
difficult emotions and feelings about what has happened. The Centre is able
to offer some guidance, support or counselling to family members, friends or
workers who find themselves in this situation. We do
understand that male family members, friends or workers often find themselves
in a position of supporting or wanting to support a girl or woman who has
experienced rape or sexual abuse and where this is the case we are able to
offer guidance and support over the telephone. To access this support you can
contact our helpline on 01325 369933
Monday to Thursday evening from around 6.30 till 9pm, or you can email us on rsacc.dton@virgin.net. The Centre Rape And Sexual Abuse Counselling Centre (Darlington & County Durham)
