This is a safe, anonymous space where you can share your experiences, insights, or reflections. Whatever you write is yours — there’s no pressure, no judgment, and no need to reveal your identity.
By contributing, you can help others feel seen, understood, and less alone. Every story, thought, or reflection is valuable, whether it’s about challenges you’ve faced, moments of resilience, or ideas for creating safer, more supportive environments.
You are in control here: write what feels right for you, pause or leave at any time, and know that your voice matters.
"I used to feel constantly on edge at home. Even small noises made me anxious. Coming to this space for the first time was surreal — everything was soft, warm, and quiet. I could sit in a corner and just breathe without feeling watched. It was the first time in a long while that I felt safe, even for a few hours."
"When I first arrived at the refuge, I didn’t think I could trust anyone. But the staff encouraged me to arrange my room the way I wanted. Choosing where to put my things and having control over my space gave me a sense of ownership and pride. It reminded me that my comfort and choices matter."
"Something as simple as a sunny window or a plant on the windowsill made a huge difference. I didn’t realise how much I missed natural light and calming colours. These small details made me feel like I mattered and that this place cared about my wellbeing."
"I was afraid to talk at first, but sharing a meal in the communal area helped me feel part of a community. Seeing others who had gone through similar experiences and survived gave me hope. It reminded me that I’m not alone, and that feeling safe also means feeling connected."
"Leaving my old environment was terrifying, but stepping into this safe space was the first step toward healing. I didn’t feel pressure to talk or explain myself — I could just exist. Even tiny acts, like making tea or choosing a quiet spot, felt like reclaiming control over my life."
Every person’s journey is unique, and every story holds value. No experience is too small, and no voice is insignificant. By sharing your story, you help honour your own journey and create a space where others can feel seen, understood, and less alone.
