Written Question
Intimate Image Abuse: Mental Health Services
Friday 11th October 2024

Asked by: Baroness Owen of Alderley Edge (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what mental health support they currently offer to survivors of image-based abuse.

Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

Whilst the National Health Service does not offer bespoke mental health services to survivors of image-based abuse, anyone experiencing mental health problems as a result of such abuse is advised to seek help from their local general practitioner, NHS Talking Therapies services or through NHS 111.

Further advice for survivors is available from the Revenge Porn Helpline and other sources of emotional support for all types of abuse can be obtained through the Hub of Hope website, both in an online-only format.
