Speak Out Scotland

Speak Out Scotland (SOS) is a non-profit charity specialising in free, open-ended complex trauma therapy for male survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA). Our service is open to any adult (over 16yrs) who was sexually abused as a child (before age 16yrs) and has no criminal offences of a sexual nature, or sexual proclivity towards children.

Services

Our core service is Complex Trauma Therapy. However, we have developed a range of supporting services that compliment therapy and our organisations wider aims. These include:

Wellbeing: Clients move into our Wellbeing service after initial contact. This stabilises the client and prepares them for therapy.
Advocacy: We provide support for survivors in their daily lives, from financial budgeting to reporting their abuse to police.
Group Support: Survivors who have progressed through therapy can move on to our peer-to-peer support for vital ongoing support with people who understand and have shared experiences.
Outreach: We are keen to educate and build relationships with community groups to help break the stigma surrounding childhood sexual abuse, while raising awareness.
Training: We provide Scottish Mental Health First Aid Training, Trauma Informed Training and bespoke training on various aspects of Childhood Sexual Abuse and its impact on the individual.
