Survive operates a small library of self-help books for survivors of sexual violence

These self-help books cover a wide range of subjects – from inspirational survivor stories to the impact of sexual violence to coping with the impact of sexual trauma.

Survive also loans self-help books on recognising and managing mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression.

Contact survive@survive-northyorks.org.uk for a list of our self-help books or to arrange collection/return of a book.
