At the Rosey Project we recognise how difficult it can be to
tell someone about what you’ve gone through. That’s why getting support isn’t
about going into detail or going over exactly what happened. It’s about getting
the chance to talk through your feelings in a safe, non-judgmental space. Your
support worker won’t tell you what to do or how to feel. We will listen to you,
believe you and help you make your own decisions.
Support sessions usually last around an hour. Some survivors like to spend that hour talking; others will use art, writing or other creative approaches to exploring how they feel. It’s your time and you can choose how you’d like to use it.
We also run a twelve-week support group for young women which you can join after having one-to-one support at the Rosey Project or elsewhere. Group support is a bit more structured than one-to-one sessions, but the goals are similar. This is a chance to meet other young survivors and share your experiences in a safe, confidential space.
You deserve support. You don’t need to go through this alone. For more information, get in touch with Lauren by emailing her or calling our helpline on 08088 00 00 14.
