Supporting families impacted by child sexual abuse and online sexual offending.
We provide support for non-abusive parents and carers of children who have suffered child sexual abuse and partners of individuals who have been arrested for an online sexual offence involving children.
What we do
​ACTS FAST supports the non-abusive parents and carers of children who have suffered child sexual abuse. We also support parents and carers who are co-parenting with individuals who have been arrested for internet offences involving indecent images of children or sexual communication with children.​
​
We help families who have been impacted by these traumatic experiences and help them grow again. The impact of child sexual abuse is devastating, and disclosures often come like an exploding bomb, out of the blue. It can significantly affect every corner of a family’s life. With the help of our support services which include our trauma support programme and our one to one counselling we support families so they can regain their strength and look towards the future.
​
We provide online and face to face therapeutic support to the non offending family members because we know that there is very little specialist support for them. They are often very alone with no one to talk to. We support those affected by providing a space for them to process their trauma, navigate their future and therapeutic skills to support themselves and their family as a whole.
​
Our Goal
By supporting the secondary victims of child sexual abuse we will help them through their trauma, help them support their family, and lessen the impact of child sexual abuse on wider society.
