We are pleased to announce that Community First has been commissioned by the Office of Police and Crime Commission to provide a therapeutic service to victims of seual crime for North Hampshire from the 1st April offering counselling to all aged clients. Clients for this therapeutic service will need to have been referred by either the Police or by an ISVA ( Independent Sexual Violence Adviser) and can expect a speedy response with an initial assessment being offered witihn 2 weeks and counselling being offered witihn 4 weeks of the referral. The new area we will be covering will cover the Basingstoke and Deane , and the Hart and Rushmoor Districts.

However, due to the current unforeseen circumstances and the govt guidelines around dealing with the coronavirus outbreak we will not be able to offer this new face to face counselling immediately but will be offering telephone and social media counselling and initial assessments using a range of interface methods until normal services are safe to be resumed.
