BEING INVESTIGATED FOR SEXUAL OFFENCES?

FEELING SCARED, ASHAMED, ALONE?

WE CAN HELP

"I want to thank you both for your time, support, guidance and the courses that we completed. If ever there was an organisation that helped me through a tough time it was Safer Lives and I wouldn't have been able to get through it without you. So huge thanks!"

"I feel I have a much better understanding of my behaviour, how I got to the point and how I can put things right for me and my family."

"I had been in something of a denial, then the Police found images on my mobile. StopItNow told me about Safer Lives and within a few days I was on their programme. They gave me reassurance and hope that I could survive the court system, and they supported me through the hearings. Without their help, I might not have turned up."

"The Police Officer told me a caution was possible. He pointed at the Safer Lives leaflet in the pack I was given. He looked me in the face and simply said “call these guys”. It was the best advice I have taken."

"Making a call to Safer Lives after my arrest was the best decision I have ever made and undoubtedly steered me away from isolation and the darker places this kind of event can take us."

"Safer Lives provided calm and measured advice at a time where I struggled to find clarity from other sources. It has been very useful in helping me to understand myself and the next steps."

"Although I was already in therapy, the counselling didn't help. I just kept asking, Am I going to prison? These guys straightened my head out and helped me understand the system I was in and how it could go. Their hunch was right. I got NFA but I also knew by then that I could cope with what ever was coming."

"Engaging with Safer Lives was the best option for me. I soon started to explore elements of my life growing up which may explain why I had ended up in the situation I have.  Safer Lives gave me both the determination and the emotional support to change"
