Can you provide legal advice?

We are a voluntary organisation and as such are run by volunteers. Although some of us have experience in the legal arena we just aren’t permitted to provide official legal advice.  However, we are teamed up with the Association of Child Abuse Lawyers (ACAL). http://www.childabuselawyers.com/ The Association of Child Abuse … Continue reading →

Can you provide financial assistance?

No, I’m afraid not.  We are a not for profit voluntary organisation. Any funds we receive are used to keep the website and services running.  We are unable to offer financial assistance for therapy, relocation or legal support.

Can you recommend a therapist?

We link to several therapist databases that you can use to find a therapist.  The links to all of those places can be found here.  It makes much more sense for you to search the database yourself by entering your location. Please don’t ask us to search on your behalf.  This … Continue reading →

Is there a support group in my area?

We keep a database of support groups and survivors organisations. You can search our database here. It makes much more sense for you to search the map yourself, looking for suitable places, rather than asking us to search on your behalf.  This allows you to select alternative venues depending on your … Continue reading →

Was I abused as a child?

One of the biggest problems facing adults who were victims of child abuse is denial. As children we probably dealt with the abuse by dissociating ourselves from the situation, and therefore have been in denial ever since. So, how do you know if you were abused?

What is abuse?

If you are like most people you may think abuse is physical violence – having force used against you, having bones broken, being attacked, punched or kicked. This is true of course, but other types of abuse exist which are as bad as, and can be worse than, physical violence. … Continue reading →

I am under 18 and I have suffered from abuse, how can I get help?

I’m sorry HAVOCA specifically caters for adults who have been abused. Although HAVOCA does acknowledge and recognise abuse and it’s effects to those younger than 18, HAVOCA is not set up to deal with supporting that age bracket. There are organisations and groups that are tailored towards supporting the under … Continue reading →
