Beneficiaries
The crushing silence around child sexual abuse means many of us won’t know its scale and severity, but the silence also means 6 in 7 survivors don’t receive any support. They struggle with trauma symptoms including depression, anxiety, flashbacks, trouble sleeping and thoughts of hurting themselves. Many struggle with school and with friends and family relationships; but with our support they make incredible strides towards brilliant futures.
We’ll offer creative arts-based therapy for children to work towards goals like fewer panic attacks or better self-care and therapy groups in nature for young people who find nature grounding. We’ll offer changemaking and leadership for young people to make their Voices heard. We’ll provide 1:1 support and psychoeducation groups for parents to grow their skills and confidence to support their child. We’ll upskill professionals so that children have trauma-informed support across their life.
