Support for partners and families affected by an arrest or investigation
When someone you love is arrested or investigated for a sexual offence, life can change overnight. Shock, fear, anger, shame and grief are common, and so is feeling that you cannot tell anyone. You deserve support in your own right.
Who we support
- Partners and spouses
- Parents, adult children and other family members
- Couples working out how to move forward
How we can help
- A confidential space of your own, separate from the person who has been arrested
- Help making sense of what has happened and what may come next
- Support with betrayal, loss of trust, shame, guilt and anxiety
- Couples work, where it is right for you both
