Lived-Experience

We know how alone you can feel. We and our children are often marginalised and mistreated. Dwelling on everything and hiding away is a natural response to The Knock and the series of repeated traumatic events that follow. When you are ready to begin to try and move on with your life, there is a growing bank of resources being set up by survivors with lived-experience. These extraordinary group leaders facilitate services. The themes are positive, inspiring and uplifting. Find your tribe because we really are stronger together.
