October also marks Domestic Abuse Awareness Month. We support many survivors who have experienced sexual violence by their intimate partner. #DomesticAbuseAwarenessMonth

Programme Spotlight: This week, the Training and Prevention Team began two days of training with volunteers at Safer Waves who will go on to support merchant seafarers who’ve experienced sexual violence onboard.

They also delivered training to mental health professionals at the South West London and St George's NHS, looking at the links between sexual violence and mental ill-health, and best practice responses for MH professionals.

Thank you so much Sophie for all of your support, we are equally inspired and so grateful 💚💙

Volunteers are at the heart of what we do. Thanks to their support, our Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Line is open 24/7 every day of the year. In October alone, our volunteers completed 112 shifts which equates to 280 hours of free support. #RCSL #Volunteers #SupportLine
