Sexual abuse & rape inflict deep trauma with over 80% of women accessing our services suffering from moderate to severe depression & anxiety & 68% from PTSD. 74% of girls, under the age of 18, present with mental health difficulties & 85% with trauma symptoms. Side effects include nightmares, panic attacks, self-harm & thoughts & attempts of suicide. They also have low self-esteem & many teenagers & adults have eating disorders & turn to drugs & alcohol as coping strategies.
We provide specialist trauma-informed wellbeing support & counselling on a one-to-one & in groups. We work holistically with each individual to help them recover from their trauma by developing healthy coping strategies, building their self-awareness & improving their health & wellbeing. Experienced staff work alongside each individual to help them feel safe, believed and understood.
