Respond

We aim to make a real difference to people with learning disabilities by providing effective and flexible support to help them to improve their lives.

Respond works with children and adults with learning disabilities who have experienced abuse or trauma, as well as those who have abused others, through psychotherapy, advocacy, campaigning and other support. Respond also aims to prevent abuse by providing training, consultancy and research.

Sylvia's Story Video

This film features Sylvia, a Respond service use, who tells her story, through a narrative that gives us a glimpse into the loneliness that has surrounded her life. 
The film offers her the chance to explain, in her own words, the way in which Respond helped her turn this situation around.
