Behind every testimonial is someone who found the courage to reach out. We're honoured to be part of that journey.💙

We're incredibly grateful to everyone who shares their experience with us. Your feedback reminds us why our work matters.

Our support line is here to provide a safe, non-judgemental space where survivors can talk at their own pace. Thank you to everyone who has trusted us with their story.

Sibling abuse is one of the least recognised forms of childhood abuse. Parents often miss it. Survivors often minimise it. And "kids will be kids" ends up covering things that were never acceptable. #SiblingAbuse #NAPAC #AbuseAwareness

Your words mean so much to our team and remind us of the difference that a safe space can make.

Many survivors wonder if they are "making it up" or remembering events incorrectly. Self-doubt can develop for many reasons, particularly if someone was repeatedly told their experiences weren't real, were exaggerated or were their fault. #SurvivorSupport #HealingJourney

The kind words we receive are a reflection of our incredible support team, who show up every day to listen without judgement and offer compassion to those who need it most.

If you experienced physical, sexual, or emotional abuse or neglect as a child, NAPAC is here for you. No matter how long ago it happened or how "small" you think it was. Call our support line: 0808 801 0331 (free, confidential) #NAPAC #SupportLine #MentalHealthSupport

There are few things more meaningful than hearing that someone felt listened to. Thank you to everyone who has shared their experience with us.

Some survivors notice they are constantly alert to what is happening around them. They might pay close attention to other people's moods, feel on edge or overthink. This is hypervigilance. It's a survival skill that made complete sense in the environment you grew up in.

Recovery from Technology-Assisted Child Sexual Abuse is rarely straightforward and its effects can continue long after the abuse itself. We are pleased to share this free webinar series, offering important insight for parents, carers and professionals. mariecollinsfoundation.org.u…

Dissociation is something many survivors experience, but it is not always easy to recognise. Understanding why it happens can help survivors feel less confused or alone. With the right support, many people learn ways to feel more grounded and safe in the present.

When a child has experienced Technology-Assisted Child Sexual Abuse, parents and carers can be left facing difficult questions with no clear idea what to do next. We are pleased to share a free webinar series from the Marie Collins Foundation: mariecollinsfoundation.org.u…

One thing we hear on our support line is people questioning why memories of childhood abuse have only started coming back later in life. If memories are becoming difficult to cope with, speaking to someone you trust or reaching out for support can help. #SurvivorSupport

Some survivors in their 20s and 30s contact NAPAC while still living with family members or in environments that bring back difficult memories. If that's your situation, you're not alone. Wveryone deserves to feel safe where they live. #SurvivorSupport #CostOfLiving

Many survivors contact NAPAC unsure whether what they experienced “counts” as abuse. Abuse can take many forms, including emotional abuse, neglect, manipulation and experiences that leave you feeling unsafe or unheard. #SurvivorSupport #EmotionalAbuse #HealingJourney

For many survivors, the response from others after abuse can be as difficult to process as what happened itself. If this is something you have experienced, support is available. #ChildhoodTrauma #SupportForSurvivors #NAPAC #HealingJourney

Healing from childhood abuse can feel isolating. But connection makes a difference. Peer support means connecting with others who have lived through similar experiences. Peer support is not a replacement for therapy, but it can be a powerful part of recovery. 💙

Trauma doesn’t just affect individuals, it shapes the way they see the world, relate to others and respond to stress. Trauma-informed practice is about recognising these impacts and creating safer, more supportive environments where people feel seen and understood.

Survivors often carry misplaced guilt for distancing themselves from family members or going no-contact. The responsibility lies with those who crossed your boundaries and engaged in behaviours you cannot tolerate - not with you for protecting yourself.
