Survivors Service

Respond’s Survivors’ Service supports adults aged 18 and over who have experienced domestic violence and/or sexual violence.

Our Ministry of Justice/MOPAC funded therapy is temporarily closed and likely to reopen in late September 2025. In the meantime, support is still available through Individual Funding Requests or Self Funding routes. More information is available here

Our trauma-informed approach helps survivors:

• Cope with the impact of trauma
• Build healthy relationships
• Navigate the criminal justice system

Eligibility

We are expanding our services, funded by the Ministry of Justice/MOPAC, to offer free therapy for eligible survivors who:

• Are aged 18 or over
  Live in London
• Have experienced domestic or sexual violence
• Are autistic and/or have a learning disability

Please note:

• An assessment is required to ensure this is the right support
• Limited spaces are available

Accessing the Survivors’ Service

To make a referral, please complete the form below. The Survivors’ Service is free at the point of access for people who are eligible, with thanks to funding from the Ministry of Justice/MOPAC. For our long-term specialist therapy, funding is usually sought by the referrer, GP (via local CCG), or through social care.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss a referral, please get in touch.

Existing Specialist Therapy for People with Learning Disabilities and Autistic People

We also offer long-term therapy for individuals with learning disabilities and autism, recognising that trauma processing often takes longer for this group.
