Peer Support

There is a great deal of strength gained from knowing someone who has walked where you are walking and now has a life of their own choosing

We are all social beings by nature – connectedness and community are necessary if not vital to our wellbeing. The very existence of positive social relationships can be a source of healing for many psychological wounds.

Because sexual abuse and sexual assault occurs in relative secrecy – in a state of disconnection between people – reconnecting and building trust are often at the core of healing from sexual violence.

Some survivors turn to peer-support initiatives to build connection and heal.
