Older Adults

SECASA is a welcoming space for Older Adults who have experienced sexual assault at any time in their lives. Support is also available for impacted family members, friends and carers.
SECASA can provide an outreach service for Older Adults who have difficulties accessing center-based counselling supports.
 
SECASA Counsellor Advocates have access to regular training, resources and information to make sure they can adapt counselling and advocacy to suit each Older Person.
