Survivors’ Service

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

The Survivors’ Service can offer eligible people 20 free sessions of specialist trauma therapy.

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.

Respond's Survivors' Service is free at the point of access
