Our fact sheets have been tailored to meet the needs of the different groups affected by complex trauma, including childhood trauma and abuse. This includes those who have experienced it, and those who support them personally and professionally.
Some fact sheets are also presented in Plain English, Easy Read and Other Languages, and are available via the Tag dropdown. Find out about the different Categories.
Many people who have experienced abuse, neglect, or repeated trauma can feel intense emotional pain and distress at times. If this is happening for you or someone you know, support is available and you don’t have to manage it alone.
It can be very hard to choose a counsellor or therapist who is right for you. It can be especially challenging if you have been abused or traumatised.
Many survivors find relationships challenging. Trauma, violence and abuse can damage relationships within families of origin or other domestic arrangements. Some survivors are estranged from their families for this reason.
Survivors see all sorts of practitioners for counselling. Some work privately and others work in agencies or organisations. There are lot of different approaches to healing that survivors find helpful.
