  • We believe in the healing power
    of community

    Healing is complex, non-linear and unique to us all, but it’s a journey we can navigate together. See what others have already shared on 'Your Healing', or use some of our prompts to Share Your Journey:

    What Has Your Healing Journey Taught You?
    E.g. “I’ve learned I’m stronger than I give myself credit for.”

    What Challenges Have You Faced?
    E.g. “Coping with the highs and lows of healing has been exhausting.”

    What's Been Helpful For Your Healing?
    E.g. “Journaling helps me process emotions. Therapy's been a game-changer for me.”

    What Have You Let Go Of?
    E.g. “I’ve let go of the belief that I’m broken, damaged and defined by my trauma.”

    Any Wisdom For Survivors?
    E.g. “One day at a time—setbacks are normal.”

    Want To Ask The Community?
    E.g. “What’s one thing you wish you had known at the start of your healing journey?”

We’re here to help you thrive on the
healing journey, beyond surviving.

Welcome to Beyond Surviving™, Ireland’s first survivor-led charity dedicated to connecting survivors of domestic, sexual, and gender-based violence and abuse (DSGBV) and supporting them in living their most thriving lives—beyond surviving!

Founded by a fellow survivor, Beyond Surviving proudly supports and champions incredible survivors as they navigate their healing, wellbeing and personal growth journeys.

We believe in the healing power of community, which is why we provide safe spaces for survivors to connect with others who share similar lived experiences.

Beyond Surviving represents hope and empowerment, supporting survivors as they step into their power and release any shame that was never theirs to carry.

Open Survey: We want to hear from you on the issue of the disclosure and use of victims’ counselling records in criminal trials.

Do you ever…?

Wonder, “What’s next for me after the Rape Crisis Centre or Domestic Abuse Support Service?”

Feel alone or isolated on your healing journey?

Wish to connect with fellow survivors?

Look to explore healing in different ways, alongside or beyond talk-based supports like counselling?

We are proud survivors, reclaiming our lives with courage, and although our painful experiences may be a part of our story, they certainly don’t define us nor hold us back!
