Asking your questions...

We know you probably have many questions you want answers to...we hear many questions from survivors of abuse..."why did it happen to me?", "who can I talk to?", "what if people don't believe me?", "why do I still feel bad?"...and the list goes on...

Whilst we don't know all of the answers, we do have some insights and we hope that what we are able to share with you is helpful.

Below are some common questions which our support line and email support come across regularly:
