🗣️Are you looking for a challenge? Do you live in Fife? Could you befriend people who have experienced childhood sexual abuse? Then why not contact [email protected] to arrange an informal chat 👂
2 days to go!
We invite everyone to take part, making this a Global Awareness Day to impact the wider conversations & future of protecting children, and supporting survivors.
Wear your ribbon pin, and involve yourself as much or as little as you wish! #notmyshame
Shame, fear, and inaccessible services can stop male survivors of abuse getting the support they need for over 20 years. It doesn't have to be that way.
Our National Online Helpline offers confidential support 12-8PM, Monday-Sunday. Visit: https://t.co/WI450YZgos
'Suddenly all of these survivors came forward and I felt like we needed to do something to recognise the impact of this conversation.'
Founder of #Notmyshame, Emma-Jane Taylor, explains her cause and the work she is putting in to support sexual abuse victims.
We work in partnership with others to support women who are being stalked.

This week’s news has focused on a new amendment to existing law, meaning paedophiles convicted of serious sexual offences could lose parental rights over their children.

@emclayton6 wishes this had been in place earlier, so the children of today don't suffer in the same way she did.
"Where there is anger, there is pain based behaviour."
We need to meet our young people where they are,create the relationships and safe space to feel safe enough to open up conversations which are healthy and supportive .This will help the young person move forward.🧠🌱
We often talk about ACEs, the bad things that happened,and quite rightly so. But we often forget about the things that didn't happen, lack of connectedness.
This can lead to a young person constantly seeking validation because they were not validated by people around them.
👇🧠🌱
We had a welcome opportunity to join a roundtable on #loneliness@ScotParl - we talked about the benefits of #befriending and increasing social connection.
Excellent to be able to make contributions alongside our members @VintageVibesEd and @CHSScotland
Thank you @agescotland@Sunday_Post for bringing us together and @Miles4Lothian for hosting the event.

One of the hardest things about writing a book like this, is asking people to review it.
Very grateful to the wonderful people who agreed to support or contribute in some way.
The foreword is by Viv Gordon - an incredible Survivor Artist Activist and Artistic Director of @VivGordonCo
Viv brings a rich depth of insight to the foreword - invaluable for a book designed to challenge the current narrative around Child Sexual Abuse, trauma and Mental Health. Thank you Viv. Proud to know you, and to call you my friend.
Thank you for holding my hand the other day (forgot to say it at the time...it meant a lot) 💕
You can check out Viv's brilliant and world-changing work here.
