In this episode we were kindly welcomed into RASA (Rape and Sexual Abuse) Support Service to chat with Vicky Green, a Counsellor and Clinical Lead at RASA. Vicky shared her backstory and interesting journey into the world of mental health, along with the specialist work RASA offers. We discussed some of the causes and consequences of rape and sexual abuse, whilst hoping to break down some common myths often attached to both perpetrators and victims. RASA are a vital and brilliant charity, supporting victims of rape, sexual assault and/or abuse. RASA offer independent advocacy, Counselling, help and information to anyone affected by rape and/or sexual assault. People can contact the RASA helpline (0151 666 1392) to share concerns and/or report an incident, and also remain anonymous if they wish.
