*Specialist Trauma Therapy: Our counsellors understand the complexities of surviving sexual violence and abuse.

* Anonymouse Intelligence: Anonymous intelligence works a little bit like CrimeStoppers – it allows you to pass on information about someone to the police without having to report the crime or go to court. Your Survive practitioner can help you make an informed decision about whether or not to provide anonymous intelligence.
