Knowing that you are not alone
For me at this early stage in knowing about Beyond Surviving, is just knowing that you are not alone, and that there is support and understanding out there.
Welcome to 'Your Healing,' a safe space to explore and nurture our healing and wellbeing—together!
Healing from trauma can feel lonely and challenging, wherever you are on your journey. We invite you to connect with fellow survivors, share¹ insights, and explore ways to nurture healing, wellbeing² and growth together.
There is no strict roadmap, and no two healing journeys are the same. This is ‘Your Healing’, in whatever way feels right for you.
¹We don’t publish stories of sexual violence in detail. Please visit We-Speak instead.
²We’ll tag the wellbeing categories as the journeys come in.

Compassionate space for survivors
Beyond Surviving provides a nurturing and compassionate space for survivors to connect and support one another.
I can connect with people who truly understand

The Healing Power of Community
Healing is no easy quest; it’s challenging, non-linear, and unique to everyone. But, it doesn’t have to be navigated alone. Sharing your healing journey not only empowers you, but also serves as a beacon of hope and insight for others.

This group has gelled together is just a short few months
I feel blessed this group exists. It is extremely well run by Ciara. Everyone has the opportunity to participate as much as they want. No one dominates the conversation. Ciara is very skilled at interjecting appropriately to bring others in or move the conversation on seamlessly. It leads to a safe conversation where everyone benefits.
