Evidence-based creative arts specialist support services
The Green House is a charity which offers support for children, young people and families who live in Avon and Somerset and who have experienced sexual abuse.
We have been providing therapy for adult survivors of sexual abuse since the 1970s. We were formerly known as the Avon Sexual Abuse Centre and in 2010 created a children’s service.
In 2019 we moved to St. Agnes Lodge, our therapy and family support service centre in St Pauls, Bristol.
In January 2022, we decided to focus solely on supporting children and families so that children could have access to timely, specialist support services that were right for them.

The Green House has been providing therapy for people affected by sexual abuse for over 30 years.
Our mission
At the Green House we believe in providing support led by what young people and their families have told us. We want to build relationships with and between families who have experienced sexual abuse. Our services have a creative arts focus because we believe in the power of creativity in helping families to rebuild their lives after abuse experiences. Research guides everything we do. It helps us to understand our service and develop best practice nationally. It helps survivors to speak out and influence change.
