The purpose of the site below is to provide the UK with a counselling support network, enabling those in distress to find a counsellor close to them and appropriate for their needs. It is a free, confidential service that will hopefully encourage those in distress to seek help.
Please note that the counsellors/organisations are not Christian and therefore cannot be fully endorsed by CASA.

If you are not a Christian, I urge you to again consider Christ (Christ and You). He can transform your life so that even this event will one day not seem as it does right now: hopeless, meaningless, the end of your world, the end of you.

Find a church which is faithful to the Word of God. There you will be able to listen and speak with others who can help you understand more about the love of Christ.

For Christian Victims: Dealing with sexual abuse in the long term

1. Remember that Christians are not immune from the fallen nature of humankind and the sin that results. Christians may not be of the world, but they remain firmly in the world. However, Christ has overcome the world.

2. Pray honestly to God-with your anger and confusion and questions. Psalm 13:1-2; Job 3:25-26. He has promised never to leave or forsake us.

3. The negative consequences of sexual abuse require the transforming power of the Word of God. Remember that man shall not live by bread alone........and that Christ will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed upon Him...

4. You will feel angry and anger itself is not a bad thing unless it becomes destructive.

5. Christ tells us to forgive. To forgive an abuser is impossible without the power of God. Pray for that power. Romans 12: 17-21.

God speaks to us through his Word. Please read my brief reflections on God's Word in relation to sexual abuse: Reflections on God's Word
