Introducing My Support Space
My Support Space is an online resource designed by the independent charity Victim Support to help you manage the impact that crime has had on you.
You can work through a series of interactive guides which address your specific needs.
The guides are designed to be completed in your own time and at your own pace. You can save your progress and revisit where you left off at any time. There's also information about where and how you can access further support, and the opportunity to register with SilverCloud, an online therapy system.
