Organisation: Coventry Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre (CRASAC)
Coventry Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre (CRASAC)
CRASAC exists to address the trauma and injustice of sexual violence and abuse through the provision of specialist services and to promote the needs and voices of victims and survivors through training and awareness raising.
CRASAC provides a range of free services to women and girls, men and boys 5 years and over who are victims or survivors of sexual violence and abuse either at present or in the past. CRASAC’s principal beneficiaries are victims and survivors of sexual violence and abuse but support is also available to family and supporters of victims/survivors as well as to other professionals where appropriate.
Our aim is to provide support, information and advocacy and to ensure the well-being, health and mental health effects of sexual violence and abuse are addressed in a safe service.
Our main activities are:
• A telephone helpline that provides support, a referral pathway into CRASAC’s services, information and signposting for female and male victims and survivors of sexual violence, their supporters and to other professionals working with and supporting victims and survivors;
• Professional counselling/psychotherapy to male and female survivors aged 5 and above, who have experienced any form of sexual violence or abuse at any time in their lives;
• A crisis support and advocacy service for female and male victims of sexual violence who are at the point of crisis and/or who wish to access the criminal justice system; including specialist children’s advocacy support;
• Specialist community based support providing support within the community to women and girls from black and minor

- CRASAC Mission Statement
What we do
Our primary aim has always been to provide support, information and advocacy to female victims and survivors of sexual violence. Over recent years CRASAC has expanded some of its service provision to support men and boys but the provision of and importance of women only spaces has been maintained. This is because CRASAC recognises that sexual violence is both a cause and consequence of gender inequality within our society and so is a crime that disproportionately affects women and girls.
CRASAC’s services are provided from a feminist and human rights perspective and are designed to ensure the well-being, health and mental health effects of sexual violence and abuse are addressed in a safe service and victims and survivors are enabled to regain critical power and control lost through their experiences of sexual violence and abuse.
We are a member organisation of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and abide by their Ethical Framework. Our counsellors are all women from diverse backgrounds and are qualified to at least Diploma level. Our volunteers have completed an NOCN accredited training programme in the area of rape and sexual abuse which is run by CRASAC.
