We are an open to all service, free of charge that supports over 3,000 children and adults a year._ Sexual abuse and rape can leave people with physical and mental scars that take time and understanding to work through. Family Matters counselling service has been created to provide skilled help for children and adults who are experiencing these difficulties. Our counselling practice is supported by qualified professionals who are trained across a wide range of issues and disciplines to help those affected address their fears and identify a clear pathway towards resolution and healing. We also provide Independent Sexual Violence Advisors (ISVA’s) for both children and adults to support rape and sexual assault victims to come to terms with the aftermath of their assault. ISVA’s are specially trained to look after victim’s needs and Pictured above: _FM Chair – Bernice Giggins_ to ensure that they receive care and guidance. Information, help and support can be provided even if you have not reported to the police. Assistance is offered to help you through the criminal justice system, from reporting to police through to trial at court. ## **Our work in 2021/2022** As a society we must do everything we can to prevent further child and adult sexual violence and rape occurring. Here at Family Matters we continued to provide a much-needed safe-haven for victims of Sexual violence and rape. We provide therapy, ISVA’s and a helpline which enabled us to support over 3,000 survivors in 2021/2022. FM does all that it can to raise awareness by giving talks to other professionals, sitting on public boards, television and frequent radio interviews to highlight the need to be vigilant. We worked closely with schools, colleges, universities, GP, psychiatrists and mental health teams to name but a few, to ensure that victims have a professional service that they can rely on. During the course of this financial year Client outcomes were as below: - _85% indicated a reduction in depression_ - _88% reduction in suicidal ideation_ - _78% reduced or ceased self-harming_ - _85% felt the therapy had enhanced their chances of gaining employment_ - _90% reported that the counselling their ability to engage in school or training_ - _86% therapy helped improve relationships with others especially family members_ - • _75% reduced their dependency on drugs and/or alcohol_ - _27% identified a reduction in their prescribed medication_ - _67% believe their therapy had reduced their need to visit the GP_ - _97% said they felt strong enough to say no to further abuse_ - _96% felt strong enough to protect other family members from abuse_ - 4 - ## **FAMILY MATTERS** These outcomes highlight the good work the charity does, our commitment and dedication to the service that we provide for clients. The figures demonstrate a significant reduction in each area and this all helps a client with hope and future focus, with less re-victimisation. Whilst suicide and mental health still remain a high factor, they are significantly reduced with the help of support from FM. We continued through this period with our NHS programme of triage via the Kent SARC, which has proved invaluable to our clients with a quick and easy pathway through, forensic examination and other related health checks, as well as an easy pathway through to FM ISVA and therapeutic services. We provided a service to clients with a recognised mental health diagnosis, these clients can be particularly vulnerable, and we endeavour to work closely with their mental health teams and psychiatrists to ensure we are the correct provider of services for them. Bexley NHS CCG provided us with funding to see a proportion of clients from this area of London and has continued to do so during this financial year. > Pictured above: We continue to be funded by G4S to provide crisis support in the Glade in Bransford _FM CEO – Mary Trevillion_ and remotely in Telford. In Kent we provide Independent Sexual Violence Advisors (ISVA’s) who offered a service encompassing the point of entry into the legal system right up beyond trial proceedings. During this financial period court cases were still taking far too long, if at all to come to trial and this caused further trauma. FM works to highlight the need for the court system to improve. This service is funded by the Kent Police Crime Commissioners Office who have been strong supporters of our work for many years and we continue discussions with them on the future of support for clients in Kent. We made great inroads into our client’s progress back to health and well-being. We received referrals from many services and the SARC at this time, along with the police, who continued to be our main provider. Given that fear and anxiety are the primary responses to trauma, it is heartening to see more funding to support talking therapies, instead of just medicating people. This in turn will lessen any additional trauma that the clients receive via medical examinations, legal proceedings, restricted social activities, health problems, all a constant reminder of the assault. FM receives extensive feedback from clients, where they tell us the important work we do for them and the achievements they are able to make with our help. ## **This report was approved by the board on 18/04/2022 and signed on their behalf by:** _Chair – Bernice Giggins CEO – Mary Tevillion_ - 5 - FAMILY MATTERS INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TOTHE TRUSTEES OF FAMILY mA￿ERs I report to the trustee5 on my examination of the finaftcial statements of Family Matters Ithe charity) foi the year ended 30 Aprsl 2022.
