Independent Sexual Violence Advisors

Independent Sexual Violence Advisors (ISVAs) offer ongoing practical and emotional support to individuals who have been raped or sexually assaulted either recently or in the past. They will explain the options available to you and can also accompany and support you through the police and court process (if you choose to report to the Police).

SYNERGY provides support for anyone who has been sexually abused or raped, or who has been affected by sexual violence at any time in their lives. All our staff and volunteers are trained to provide specialist support.  We offer support from accessible outreach sites across Essex, as we recognise that many individuals need designated space to feel safe and regain control of their lives.

We offer an Essex wide service providing specialist emotional support, counselling, advocacy and other services to support adults, children, young people, family and their supporters.
