Group Work Programmes include creative sessions, activities, focus groups, residentials and peer support. It provides social connection and the opportunity to try something new, building confidence while also working through issues in a positive and creative way.
Being able to share their views in a safe and trusted space gives our young women a sense of purpose and reduces the social stigma felt by survivors of sexual abuse. They learn that they can make a positive impact on others through their experiences and show each other a great sense of empathic understanding on a level that can be impossible for our workers to achieve. Supporting each other highlights that they have so much more to offer as individuals, that they are not defined by their trauma, and that they have a variety of strengths and skills that open up new opportunities.
