Who You Are

One in Four is a charity that provides high-quality legal and mental health care to adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and their families. 

Why You Started

One in Four was founded in 2003 after the publication of The SAVI Report: Sexual abuse and violence in Ireland which found that one in four Irish children experience sexual abuse. Our first clients were survivors of clerical or institutional abuse. Nowadays, most of our clients have been abused by a member of their own family, or by someone trusted in their community.

Our vision is an Irish society where children are safe from the threat of sexual harm. Every single day we work towards this vision. It’s what drives us, what fuels us. Our therapists are highly trained, and have extensive experience working in the field of childhood sexual abuse allowing them to respond calmly to complex situations as they unfold.

What You Do

Our programmes help adults who have experienced childhood sexual abuse, their families, and those who have engaged in sexually harmful behaviour. We work in all aspects of sexual violence in an effort to break the cycle of abuse.

Our therapy team provide professional counselling on an individual and group basis, as well as family supports. While our advocacy team is there to help navigate reporting abuse, the Irish criminal justice system and those difficult days in court. Underlying our approach, every single staff member brings kindness, empathy, care and commitment to each person they meet.
