Who we are.
CRASAC supports survivors of sexual violence and abuse to be heard, believed, and supported in their recovery.
Based in Coventry, we have been providing specialist trauma-informed counselling, advocacy, and support for over 45 years for children, young people, and adults affected by sexual violence and abuse.
CRASAC was established within the feminist women’s support movement and continues to be informed by feminist principles alongside contemporary trauma-informed practice. Our work is grounded in a commitment to safety, dignity, and choice for every person who turns to us.
