Beneficiaries
Situation
A significant women and young people who we work with experience significant mental health issues. For some this is as a result of childhood adverse experiences, child sexual abuse or abuse or trauma later on in life. Many of the women and young people we work with are fearful of being judged/blamed for their experience and find it challenging to build a trusted relationship and therefore benefit from specialist therapy that also allows for longer period of engagement (up to 12 months)
Solution
It will enable us fast track access to trauma-based specialist therapy to young people and women to address the impact of their experiences of CSA and/or ongoing exploitation. This offer would support those that struggle to engage with other services due to their high needs and offer a longer period. The service we wish to offer is highly specialist, taking a highly person-centred approach aimed specifically at harm caused due to childhood and ongoing sexual and other forms of abuse.
