If you have been affected by any form of child sexual abuse, domestic abuse or sexual violence including rape, sexual assault or sexual harassment at any time in your life, we are here for you.
We also offer support to women affected by stalking, harassment, female genital mutilation/cutting, forced marriage, so-called ‘honour-based’ abuse and exploitation.
If you are in danger right now or need urgent medical care, call 999.
You may be having different thoughts and emotions right now. You may be feeling confused or you may not be feeling anything at all.
We want you to know that all of your feelings are natural and that you are not to blame.
You have options about what happens next. You can take some time to think and make choices in your own time. We are here for you when you are ready.
If you have been sexually assaulted or raped within the last ten days, a local Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) can offer you medical and practical support.
You can also report domestic abuse, sexual abuse or violence that has happened at any time in your life.
Find out more about your options when it comes to reporting.
If you are not quite sure what it is that you need right now, but that you might want to talk to someone, we are here for you. There are a few different ways you can contact us for support.
We know it takes courage to talk to someone about what has happened to you.
We appreciate that finding the words is sometimes difficult and you might not know what to say. We will be there for you in that moment and you have complete control over what you say and share with us.
You can call our Helpline on 01208 77099 on Monday to Friday 10am – 1pm and Monday evenings from 6pm – 9pm. The woman who answers your call will listen to you, believe you and accept you just as you are. If we can’t support you in the way you need, we will help find someone who can.
If you are not able or ready to make a phone call – we understand. You can email us on support1@womenscentrecornwall.org.uk
You can also send us a message using the confidential form below. A woman will respond to you within 72 hours.

If you already know that you would like to refer yourself for sessions, you can reach out to us using the contact methods above or send us a message in the contact box below.
Due to a high need for our services, we currently have a waiting list of several months between your initial assessment and the start of your support.
During this time, we will contact you regularly and can signpost you to other services if needed, as well as offer access to our Helpline, online Campfire forum and the Sorella project whilst you are waiting for support to begin.
