Sexual Abuse Freedom & Education
Equipping Men & Women to overcome - not just survive.
One of the biggest difficulties of sexual abuse is the whole issue of silence. Approximately, 21% females and 11% of males have been through some form of sexual abuse by the time they are sixteen and yet most people never speak about it, because usually people are too ashamed, or think that maybe it was their fault or maybe there is something they could have done.
There are long and short term effects of sexual abuse. Eg: relationship difficulties, intimacy, trust, negative view of self and others, difficulties managing emotions, depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress, acting out behaviour and low self esteem.
SAFE is an educational and support program which we seek to make available to any people in our community who have been affected by sexual abuse. SAFE is two-fold in that it aims to help people who have been affected by sexual abuse as well as equipping parents, carers, volunteers and workers with skills and training to help prevent abuse from happening in the first place. With training and education, SAFE aims to help people in a practical way to receive the support they need in a caring, experienced and positive community.
All SAFE programs are offered free of charge.
