People who used My Support Space said:
I was genuinely surprised and uplifted by how helpful and straightforward the advice was.
I walked and talked through the guide with the person I support. We both found it incredibly helpful and informative. We've looked at some key self-help options that each of us can adopt.
What a fantastic resource. I found it incredibly helpful… I feel much more empowered and a bit less overwhelmed.
FAQ
My Support Space is an online resource from the independent charity Victim Support to help you manage the impact crime has had on you.
You can work through a series of interactive guides that address your specific needs. The guides feature videos, techniques, activities and tips to help you explore each topic. Find out more about the topics we cover in our leaflet [PDF].
You can complete the guides in your own time and at your own pace. Your progress is saved automatically and you can revisit where you left off at any time.
You can also create an online diary to help keep track of your progress and record what works for you.
