Making contact

What to do next

We know that living with the effects of sexual abuse is not easy. It can also be just as difficult to take that first step to find the service that may be right for you. However it doesn’t have to be this way, as you don’t have to live a life dominated by your past experiences of sexual abuse.

Speak to us confidentially.

You can do this by telephone, text or email. We will then explain a bit more about what we offer as an organisation and you can ask any questions you may have. Then you can have time to think about what has been said and decide what you would like to do next. You will also have plenty of time to look through the rest of the website and its media and resources.

The next step

Then if you are keen to take the next step, simply call us back and we will arrange to meet up – and don’t worry you will never be asked to tell your story.

We can meet you in a public place like a coffee bar, to talk about a way forward. We can meet you in a location that feels safe for you.

If you would like a friend or partner to accompany you then this is no problem.

On the following contact numbers you will speak to David Ball or Steve Canning:

T: Helpline: 07539 810096 / 07837 321514

E: opem@pm.me

We are not trained counsellors nor do we offer counselling but we do have a lot of experience in both delivering and using services. We can also make suggestions about a way forward that may involve other types of services based in Plymouth and elsewhere.
