Two people hold hands

Aylesbury Vale and Milton Keynes Sexual Assault and Abuse Service, alongside SAFE!, have come together to provide a specialist service tailored to the needs of children and young people living in Milton Keynes.

Their aim is to support children aged 5 + by delivering a responsive, individually tailored specialist support service in Milton Keynes to those who have been affected by rape, sexual assault, and abuse.

Both organisations are passionate about the work they do and believe that children and young people deserve access to specialist support during vulnerable or troubled phases of their lives. Early intervention is crucial for healthy emotional development, giving the chance for the developing brain to fire synaptic networks into life and learn to regulate stress responses.

For further information please call their helpline 07546 561186 or to make a referral visit their website.
