JUNO - A support service for survivors of sexual violence

About Us
We are a charity offering specialist support and counselling services to women aged sixteen and over who have experienced sexual violence at any time in their lives, whenever or however it happened. We are a female-led organisation, serving all women living in Hertfordshire and neighbouring areas, irrespective of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, socio-economic class, religion or disability.
We believe that survivors of sexual violence deserve to be treated with respect, empathy and compassion. We recognise that sometimes taking the first step can be the hardest, and we are here to support you whenever you feel ready.

Why Juno?

We are called Juno after the ancient Roman Goddess who possessed the characteristics of energy and a force for life. She also had a central role as the protector of women. We feel that we are aligned with Juno’s character as our aim is to support women to find safety and protection with us, and to go forward with the knowledge that the future offers hope for recovery and the chance to live life fully.

Volunteers needed

There are many ways you can support Juno and our work If you are interested in volunteering as a counsellor, we do accept experienced trainees as well as those who are fully qualified. If you are a trainee, this would ideally be your second placement and you should already have a minimum of 50 client hours. We ask all volunteer counsellors to become members of the BACP and be prepared to commit to staying with us for a minimum of two years. Specialist training will be given before seeing clients. You can also volunteer as a trustee or as an office helper. We are always looking for people to help run the organisation in a variety of capacities – as a trustee, helping on the office, working on fundraising, providing non-specialist support. Our volunteer and counselling positions are open to women only.
