Survivors of sexual abuse urged to reach out for help

SUPPORT agencies are urging survivors of sexual abuse to reach out for help when the Dublin Archdiocese Report is published.

After the Ryan Report was published last May thousands of people contacted counselling and advocacy services for help.

According to a joint statement issued by Connect, Dublin Rape Crisis Centre, Faoiseamh and One in Four, there were a number of suicides associated with the period after the Ryan Report was published.
