No face to face session this Friday. Anyone feeling that they need extra support, our first group of 2025 is Wed 8th (1830-2000 online). Remember we are free and place no limit on the number of groups you can attend. Also remember we are here on email most days. I hope everyone is doing OK.

2) Family members are referred to us from police (at the warrant) due to the shock/trauma and devastation they are experiencing. Or through other charities, social workers, or simply self referring. We talk to all referrals before they come to the groups. Groups are facilitated.

1) We support the family members - adult children, siblings, parents, partners of those under investigation for online CSA, so mostly accessing indecent images of children. There are 1000 arrests a month for this offence in England and wales. Family members face huge stigma, isolation and trauma.

We’ve migrated away from the other platform and hope to welcome lots of new followers. We are a UK based charity that provides support for families managing the trauma of a loved one’s arrest for online child sexual abuse. We run four peer support groups a month - 1 face to face (Leeds) & 3 online.
