Survive North Yorkshire

Who we are

The team at Survive knows the devastating impact sexual violence can have on a person, their relationships and their ability to reach their potential. As the voice of survivors, we will challenge myths about sexual violence. We will strive to raise awareness in all communities of the signs, prevalence and impact of sexual violence including that which occurs between those who are or have been intimate partners. We will educate those in authority, in communities and in institutions to help them understand the pain of sexual trauma, the term we use to describe the long term effects of sexual violence, so that they put survivor support and care high on their agendas.

Survive wants all who have experienced rape, sexual assault as adults or child sexual abuse to have access to its highly-valued services to:

• Find relief from distress;
• Discover self-worth;
• Reconnect with lives and relationships;
• Explore and achieve their full potential.

Survive will work to help survivors of rape, sexual assault or child sexual abuse rebuild their lives, relationships and reach their potential by delivering specialist services.
