Respond SA
Our staff are highly skilled in supporting adults who have experienced childhood sexual abuse.
Respond SA is a statement by Relationships Australia (SA) as a continued commitment to provide services that reflect the changing needs of adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. All staff at Relationships Australia (SA) receive ongoing training, supervision, and increased experience in supporting survivors of childhood sexual abuse. We also continue to provide training opportunities for health and community services.
The Respond SA website provides information, resources and pathways for survivors of child sexual abuse, their friends and family as well as service providers and organisations. Through the maintenance of the website and continued development of our range of services, Relationships Australia (SA) can help provide:
- Access to a range of support services to adult survivors
- An appropriate response by organisations when a report of past sexual abuse is made
- Health care workers and other front line professional groups have the knowledge and skills to appropriately respond to the needs of adult survivors.
- An increase in knowledge and understanding in the community about the difficulties and issues involved for adult survivors.
Relationships Australia (SA) received funding from the Department of Families and Communities from June 2004 until June 2008 to develop Respond SA as a dedicated service for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. The cessation of government funding means the structure of Respond SA has changed. Our values and objectives remain the same but we are no longer able to deliver services free of charge from one dedicated program area.
