Counselling & Support Options for Survivors
Help Options for Survivors
Face-to-face help is of course the best option because it allows a counsellor or therapist to help you more fully, but here are a number of options for you to receive help:
Telephone Help: 24-hour help and advice in English and Afrikaans on 083 484 9409
Online Help: Please click here for online help or write to help@crisiscentre.org.za
There are also various online support groups available. We cannot moderate anything in these groups as they are run by other people and we do not know what you might find there, but you can take a look none the less:
