Guys – an online support group that SAMSN are running, in case you are interested. I got info on it through an email from another Counsellor (BlueKnot)! Absolutely no pressure to join, Itâs just in case itâs something youâre interested in⌠(6pm-8pm may be Daylight Savings time, which weâll check on before then)
Mon 21st Feb is in just over 1 & 1/2 wks away. This should be a wonderful chance for you guys! Youâre definitely not alone.
If âall children deserve a safe and happy childhoodâ, as the Letters Patent began Australiaâs recent CARC (Child Abuse Royal Commission) – how far along this journey are Survivors, Family-Friends, Institutions & Perpetrators? While some fairytales have more possibility of âsafe & happyâ endings, reality is that multiple Victims are losing their chance to experience any Compensation &/or Redress from the Institutions & Perpetrators responsible. Perhaps this extension of time is part of the calculated risk of Predators targeting the Vulnerable ⌠âdonât worry, theyâll be dead/unable/incapacitated before we need to worry about thingsâ may frequently be thought.
Back to the returning of our youthâs lost safety and happiness of childhood – this is a far greater accomplishment of “trust, intimacy, agency & sexualityâ that many Victims have not fully experienced. I hope for more Messages-Posts-Questions-Discussions around these 4 broad points!
