Description

The Still I Am Project (SIA) offers a confidential emotional and counselling support is you have experiences where there was something done to you without your consent, made you feel uncomfortable or confused and any kind pressure. They can be verbal, emotional or physical in nature and can have occurred recently or many years ago. They can also be one-off or be ongoing. These experiences can be traumatic and can have an impact on both mind and body.

SIA offers:

• an initial appointment when you first get in contact.
• up to 25 sessions with a dedicated worker.
• email support
• crisis appointments if you need an urgent appointment because your traumatic experience is within the last 14 days.
