About us

The Green House is the only specialist service across BNSSG and BANES supporting children, young people, and families who have experienced sexual abuse. Our distinct approach is: 1. Evidence-based, guided by research and best practices. 2. Led by the voices of young people and their families. 3. Centred on community and connection. 4. Focused on the transformational power of the creative arts. In 2022, we transitioned from a single therapy option to a whole family, community-based model which provides a more accessible and comprehensive approach to support, whilst reducing wait times by 63%. Though we deliver a local service, our work is influencing the national response to child sexual abuse. We provide national training on pre-trial therapy and survivor-led leadership programmes.
