HAVE YOU OR YOUR FAMILY BEEN HARMED BY CRIME? 

We are here for you. We offer emotional and practical support to help you understand your feelings and overcome your trauma.

Have you been a victim or witness to crime?

Have children in your family been traumatised by their experiences?

We provide emotional and practical support to heal your pain and help you to rebuild your life. We can also provide short breaks and theme park days out to replace your painful memories with happier ones.

What we do

Everything we do aims to help children, young people and their families recover from their experiences of crime.

We provide face-to-face emotional support and counselling in schools to children who’ve witnessed or been victims of crime.

We provide telephone and online emotional support to help young people understand their feelings, rebuild their self confidence and self esteem.

We give practical support to help families, whose lives have been devastated by crime, get back on their feet. We provide every day essentials from food and clothing vouchers to books, toys, mobile phones and tablets.

We tailor our support to meet the needs of your child and your family.

Rhys’s story

Support where it’s needed

Embrace provides four distinct areas of support for children, young people and family members..

PRACTICAL

Straightforward practical support has included paying for school uniform after a bullied child was forced to move home and providing music lessons for a withdrawn teenager who’d been assaulted.

SPECIALIST

We’ve built a network of counsellors and partnered with Relate too, so Embrace can provide specialist support for young people traumatised by crime. We’ve also developed a family focused approach in this area of our work.

EMOTIONAL

Embrace representatives working within dedicated Victims’ Hubs give us the opportunity to reach out directly to families and children affected by crime and tailor our emotional support, advice and guidance to exactly what’s needed.

WELL-BEING

Sometimes a family break can make all the di erence. Theme park days and Disney residential holidays have been shown to substantially help the healing process for children and families a icted by serious crime.
