“Healing happens in safe spaces where voices are heard, stories are honoured, and no one has to stand alone.”
I feel safe now but thank you for everything you have done for me it has helped me when I needed it.
A service which isn’t praised enough, they have been fantastic support to myself and my daughters. Very grateful.
All been very very beneficial. I feel I can point someone in the right direction and can bring it in to working role. I have already seen the signs in a colleague and referred them to DA support.
My support workerhas been a rock through a very difficult time.
My support worker has been very helpful and has supported me to consider my options and how to move forward with considerations for my safety.
I feel able to move forward with confidence and now see how the abuse distorted my version of reality
it has made a big difference and I feel able to move forward and cope with greater resilience
My support worker has been basically a saviour at the other end the past couple of weeks
really given me points to get to when i didn’t think I could get through the next day helped me with my accountability
Helps me to stay on track and address the things I need to address. My support gives me hope as I work with my support worker towards positive changes.
I dont know what I would do without my support because I have no-one else
I feels safe and respected by my support worker, as I have trust issues this is a big deal for me.
I have benefited from my support workers understanding of domestic abuse. She has helped me to understand trauma responses and grounding techniques. I am still struggling but can recognise when I am in trauma and starting to use grounding techniques to reduce the impact of trauma responses
If it was not for the support received by WWDAS I do not think I would have survived the aftermath and harassment, goading that I have experienced since the slip from my husband WWDAS has saved my life
It is good to have someone to talk to, I dont feel I could do this alone
You have gave me back my live and i am so grateful
Treated us with respect and care and made us feel like we were not alone.
I have never received this level of support and compassion from anywhere before so I don’t have any way to describe how amazing the support and care we have received has been other than that, amazing and everyone has gone above and beyond to help us get into a safe space and gt the help we wanted.
Its been very helpful to share my experiences and I have received support to manage my mental health. I know my journey is not over yet, but I know how to ask for help
