Who is the service for?

Adults who self-identify as having experienced a childhood trauma. Childhood trauma is defined as exposure to multiple traumatic events and/or long-term exposure to traumatic events. The effects of this vary from person to person but can lead to isolation, feelings of shame and an inability to respond to their emotions in a way that feels positive / sustainable.

"When I have attended and I arrive a bit down, I leave in a better mood, feeling lighter after off loading. My mood always changes to happier as the people and staff are great, and good listeners and they never once judged me."
