Friends and Family Peer Support

Friends and Family of survivors’ peer support group

The group is a support group for partners, family members and friends of survivors of sexual violence. The group aims to increase knowledge of trauma, how to help yourself when feeling helpless, powerless or overwhelmed by the impact of the trauma of the person you love and also how to help your partner, child, sibling or friend when they are triggered and overwhelmed. The group is supported by two trauma informed counsellors and offers a safe space to share with each other ways to cope with being around trauma, increase selfcare and the possibility to connect to people with a shared experience.

Please note that the group has a limited number of 10 member spaces available to create safety and predictability. The Partners, Family & Friends support group is running online via zoom, on alternative Tuesdays, 7-8.30pm.

If you are interested in joining our Partners, Family and Friends Peer Support Group, please contact us under: peersupport@manchesterrapecrisis.co.uk. We will then arrange a chat with you via phone to give you further information on what to expect and the opportunity to ask any questions you might have.
