Peer Support

Thanks to National Lottery Community Funding, The Flying Child is now offering three different groups for adult survivors of Child Sexual Abuse (CSA).The Flying Child groups are for wellbeing and not therapy. Our aim is to provide a supportive space for people who have experienced Child Sexual Abuse. When we have the opportunity to make connections within the survivor community we build strength, solidarity and voice, and we reduce feelings of isolation.

Online Writing Group (evening)

What Others Think – A powerful and thought-provoking poem by John Baker, a recent participant of The Flying Child Writing Group.

Our ONLINE WRITING GROUP is facilitated by a survivor writer and a CSA survivor counsellor. It is a 6 week course for all genders. This is not a therapy group – the emphasis is on creative writing – you can expect writing exercises and online company with other survivors of CSA. Wellbeing support is provided throughout each session.

UPDATE: Please sign up to join our waiting list for the next group starting late October 2023.

Our IN-PERSON ART GROUP is held in Woking, Surrey (UK). It is facilitated by Kate, an experienced art group leader, and co-facilitated by a survivor with lived experience of CSA. It is a course for female survivors. Each session is 2 hrs long. The emphasis is on creativity –  you can expect art, chat and company with other survivors of CSA. This group is suitable for people who have never tried art before and for people who have.
