CRASAC have launched a new therapeutic services offer 
New service and some changes to the eligibility criteria:
- The waiting list for Therapeutic services for people aged 13+ has now re-opened.
- All referrals will be contacted for an assessment within a month.
- People wanting to access these services will be invited to a 'Welcome to CRASAC session', where the services on offer will be explained.
- Clients will then be able to access a range of support including the Thrive Project (an 8 week closed group) and 1-1 counselling.
- We will be expanding this offer throughout 2025 (subject to funding).
Points to note:
- There remains a long wait for 1-1 counselling.
- Due to demands/lack of capacity, referrals from outside of Coventry will not be accepted (you will be able to enter a postcode into the system which will let you know if you are within our area).
- The ISVA service remains open and unaffected by these changes.
- Referrals for the under 13's counselling remains open and unaffected by these changes
