The Ethnic Survivors Forum

The Ethnic Survivors Forum is a new culturally sensitive service available for minority ethnic communities and professional bodies.

Offering support services for minority ethnic adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse, including:

• A Freephone telephone helpline - a confidential service that offers support and a listening ear as well as details of local support services
• A unique interactive website offering information, resources and support via our online forum where adult survivors can share their own personal stories of survival
• A Group Support Programme where adult survivors can meet and share their experiences in a safe and secure environment

The Ethnic Survivors Forum works alongside statutory agencies, voluntary organisations and other bodies in pursuit of developing, supporting and influencing the future direction of services for minority ethnic survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

The Ethnic Survivors Forum aims to increase awareness of childhood sexual abuse and its long term consequences within ethnic minority communities and will actively promote a programme of education and awareness raising.
