Welcome to Quetzal

At Quetzal, we exist to support women who have experienced childhood sexual abuse. We understand that the impact of abuse does not end in childhood, it shapes lives, relationships, and wellbeing for years to come.

That’s why we provide a safe, compassionate space where survivors can begin to heal, at their own pace, in their own way.

You Are Not Alone

Many women carry their experiences in silence. At Quetzal, you don’t have to. Our specialist services are designed to help you feel heard, believed, and supported.

Support Groups – A safe space to connect with others facing similar challenges.
Emotional Support – Ongoing check-ins and guidance from our skilled volunteers.
Workshops – Practical sessions to help you develop coping strategies and resilience.

Quetzal specialise in supporting female survivors. We have a deep understanding of the specific challenges that women encounter as survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Our services provide a safe and inclusive space where you can feel understood, validated, and connect with other survivors.

Women-only services create an additional layer of safety and comfort for you as a survivor. Having a space exclusively for female survivors can help you feel more at ease discussing sensitive topics and sharing your emotions.

With our all-female staff and volunteer team, we provide a safe and secure environment in which we deliver unique care and attention to each woman based on their specific needs.

We want to emphasize that we welcome and support all women, including transgender women. We recognise and affirm that gender identity is a deeply personal and authentic aspect of each individual’s experience. We strive to create a safe, inclusive, and non-discriminatory environment for all survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
