Our police and court support team offers advocacy and knowledge in navigating the criminal system from reporting sexual violence to filling out paperwork all the way to support through court appearances. Saffron’s specialized counselling services offer our clients affordable counselling services that are tailored to trauma and healing from sexual violence.
