Frequently asked questions
If you’re having doubts about your group, the first step is to talk it through in a safe space. At Surviving Universal UK, we provide lived-experience support — you can email us at info@survivinguniversaluk.org.
Your safety comes first. If you feel controlled or unsafe, that alone is reason to step back. Our Exit Kit, available on the Support & Services page, gives you tools and validation to help you make an informed choice.
Specialist support is still scarce — especially for Black and Brown survivors. That’s why Surviving Universal UK exists. We offer frontline advocacy, one-to-one support, referrals and signposting, CPD-accredited training, our Exit Kit, rehabilitation and peer support, and campaigning opportunities for those who want to speak out.
We also work alongside partners like the Family Survival Trust and the National Working Group Against Spiritual and Ritual Abuse, where our founder Rachael Reign is an Executive Advisory Member. Together, we’re building the support that survivors deserve.
