Call our helpline for free Mon – Thurs (excluding public holidays) from 10am to 12noon on 0808 145 1887.

Our specially trained support workers offer non-judgmental emotional and practical support. We support adult survivors of sexual violence and loved ones including parents, partners, carers, friends and other family members.

You can access the Helpline anonymously and do not need to give your name.

Professionals can also call our helpline for information or advice.

We will listen to you with empathy and compassion and we can also provide information and advice around sexual violence and trauma. If you would like continued support we can explain the process of accessing our services or signpost you to other local or national services and resources.

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.
