Survivors of all genders are welcome. Come and talk to us for information, guidance and support.
If you have questions before you visit, call 0151 394 1400.
If you would rather speak face to face, you can come to a drop-in without an appointment or referral. Call 0151 394 1400 for the next session, its location and who it is for. Ask about women-only sessions or LGBTQIA+ online support if either would suit you.
Getting support for yourself
You can contact us directly. Call 0151 394 1400 on weekdays between 8am and 6pm, email help@swaca.com or visit a drop-in. Tell us what you would like help with and how it is safe for us to contact you.
Professional referrals
Professionals can refer adults and children. Contact the helpline for the referral form, then send the completed form through your agency’s approved email process.
- Police referrals go to cjsm@swaca.com.
- Other agencies should use assessment@swaca.com.
The helpline team monitors referrals Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm. The team reviews the information and may contact the referrer for more details. For an immediate emergency, call 999.
Groups, training and education
Ask the team about recovery programmes, support groups, healthy relationship sessions for schools and domestic abuse awareness training for professionals in Sefton.
