  • 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?”

What have we been up to at
beyond surviving?

Keep Counselling Confidential

Advocates from Beyond Surviving travelled to the United Nations (Monday 16th – Friday 20th June) in Geneva, Switzerland, for the 91st session of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).

As survivors, we called on the Irish government to ban the practice of disclosing victim-survivors’ counselling notes to the court, the accused, the counsel of the accused, and the prosecution team in sexual offence trials. Beyond Surviving will continue to remind the government of its obligations to uphold the human rights of survivors under international human rights law, and more specifically, CEDAW. We, at Beyond Surviving, call for a ban, in recognition of our rights to health, justice, privacy, and non-discrimination under CEDAW.
