It's not always easy to know what to say when someone tells you about the abuse they have been subjected to...

We should respond with understanding, care, and support.

Sexual violence and abuse can have a long term impact on survivors.

Survivors accessing our services have high levels of psychological distress - many with PTSD symptoms, in addition to extreme anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts.

We help survivors heal, rebuild, and thrive.

Today is National Child Exploitation Awareness Day.

Every child deserves safety, free from harm. Speak out against abuse and adopt zero tolerance for exploitation.

Report concerns: Crimestoppers 0800 555 111 or Police 101. Learn more: stop-ce.org

#Spring is a great time to remember that dark times do end (even if you live up North!) and brighter days return. It's a time of rebirth and fresh starts.

What are you looking forward to most now the days are getting longer?

We must recognise the scale of support victims and survivors need, and that brilliant organisations like @survivenorthyorks.bsky.social in #York are fully funded to provide the care and support to all who need their specialist services. Full story from Survive in next comment 👇

Last night, we attended the University of York's Sexual Violence Support event: Light Up The Night.

The event welcomes those wishing to stand in solidarity with survivors of sexual violence.

This week is Sexual Violence Awareness Week.

We'll be sharing content & resources across social media, highlighting the impacts of sexual violence, challenging myths, & calling for change.

Together, we can make a difference.

Use hashtags #SVAW2025 & #ItsNotOK to be involved in the conversation.

Giving a donation to Survive will help us to help more survivors of sexual violence and abuse, living in #York and across #NorthYorkshire.

If you can, please consider donating today: www.survive-northyorks.org.uk

I don't know who needs to hear this today but self-care isn't selfish.
