If you’ve been sexually abused as a child (or someone close to you has been) the shame and pain of the past can make you feel very lonely – however coming together with others is a way to move forward.

“Stepping Out Of Shame And Into The Future”
This workshop is open both to people who have experienced abuse and their partners and friends as well as counsellors and other professionals.
A relaxed and friendly environment where we will come together to learn, share and support each other.

We will be looking at:
• Giving back the shame that is not ours
• Dealing with anger constructively
• Stopping the past intruding in our lives today
• Moving out of frustrating styles of relating
• Living a life where we can be closer to others
 
Benefits of attending:
• Break out of isolation and meet others who understand
• Gain information to help overcome the past
• Feel supported by both professionals and other survivors
• Put strategies in place for the future

This workshop contains no graphic details of past abuse.

The workshop is led by a Survivor and all Facilitators are professionally trained in counselling and group facilitation. BACP and ACC ethics apply.
