| Recipient Org: Description | a) MAF was set up in 2000 to empower survivors of child sexual abouse. We work with survivors of all ages, and enable them to take control of their own health and well-being and to improve their lives. Many clients, when they first attend for support, don?t realise their strengths and potential. We encourage resilience and empowerment by always seeing our clients as individuals and working with them to build on their strengths as well as support their challenges. We provide collaborative person-centred support which enables a survivor to get the right service from the right person at the right time. These services include: ? Individual and group counselling, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Art Therapy & Counselling ? Play Therapy & Youth Counselling, focusing on the needs of children and young people ? A weekly ?pop-in? where existing and former clients can come for a chat and a coffee ? ?Safe Hands? training and workshop programmes for all ages to promote personal safety strategies ? Awareness raising talks to schools, nurseries, churches and other groups about keeping safe and the effects of childhood sexual abuse on the individual and society ? A holistic range of support delivered through our "Positive Steps Project", including individual support, complementary therapies, our Hands on Health self-management programme and peer support. These services benefit adults with long-term health problems, enabling them to cope better with their condition and access opportunities within the community. ? Ongoing support by experienced Client Support Officers ? Assistance with Criminal Injury Claim applications and throughout the judicial process Last year we supported 579 people, of all ages and genders and January 2020 saw 72 referrals in one month, a record high. However, during lockdown these numbers dropped and continue to be lower than we would anticipate. In 2021 if society gets back to ?normal? we anticipate a significant increase in the numbers. This is based on the number of calls to abuse helplines and that there is likely, during periods of confinement to the home, to be cases of child sexual abuse occurring or coming to light. b) With COVID-19 we have moved all our support to online and continued most of the areas of our work with staff making regular calls to our clients and providing online counselling. Over lockdown we have carried expansion of our premises and the increased capacity will enable us to facilitate further networking and collaborations. We have continued our collaborations with many organisations, for example with Social Destination which has resulted in a Training Tool, ?Hidden in Silence?, on childhood sexual abuse within the Scottish BME community. Last year we were piloting a satellite service, through our Positive Steps Project, in Glasgow in partnership with The Mungo Foundation and the Links Worker Programme with the aim of reducing barriers and increasing access to services for people living in Glasgow. Due to COVID-19, we were unable to deliver our original project, however, services were quickly adapted to virtual delivery offering telephone and video appointments as lockdown prevented face to face delivery. We redesigned our Hands on Health ? Self Management programme for virtual delivery. From this experience we have learned that telephone and virtual support services works especially for people unable to access face to face services. We have continued and further developed collaborations to increase and improve access to support and ensure a ?joined-up? approach to our services. Another example of this ?joined up? approach was highlighted recently after taking a call from a Glasgow Job Centre. Their staff member (disability officer) telephoned us regarding the needs of a young man he is currently working with who has chronic alcohol issues and suicidal thoughts related to his history of CSA. We were identified as an appropriate service via his colleagues during a case discussion. They had previously referred to us and had been impressed by our person-centred approach which was ideal for this particular client. |
