  • 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?”

Welcome to 'Your Healing,' a safe space to explore and nurture our healing and wellbeing—together!

Healing from trauma can be a lonely, challenging process, no matter what stage of the journey you’re at. We invite you to connect with fellow survivors and share your insights and experiences on the healing journey¹. Together, we can navigate the many ways to nurture our healing, wellbeing², & growth. This community aims to cultivate curiosity, support, insight, & hope.

Remember, there’s no strict roadmap to follow, nor are any two healing journeys ever the same. This is ‘Your Healing’, in whatever way works best for you—and it can be navigated together!

The impact is enormous

I don’t think people who haven’t experienced sexual or domestic violence truly understand the impact it has on someone’s entire life. My whole family are healing and recovering from what one person CHOSE to do. The damage he caused can never be undone. The sentence he got DOES NOT come close to fitting the crime

Anxiety advice

I Hope My Voice Can Inspire Others To Speak Out And Seek Justice

As a male survivor, having faced the court process and seen the sentencing through, I can say with certainty that I did the right thing. From the day of sentencing, I’ve held my head high—not just for myself, but for others in similar situations, especially men who often feel silenced. For (number) long years, I
