Survivor voices


I was very nervous about using the phone line. It’s hard to talk about what happened. But the lady I spoke to was so lovely I was at once at ease. She allowed me to take my time and explain and made me feel that I was valued and that how I was, was important to her. It was good to talk.

Female Survivor

Knowing that the organisation exists, turning to the support line and learning of resources to use in trying to heal – all of these have put me on a better and safer path in life. All I can say are these simple yet heartfelt words, thank you.

Jay

I know I am not alone in this traumatic suffering of abuse but having people like ‘NAPAC’ is a comfort to those of us that are trying to rebuild our lives. I would highly recommend NAPAC.

Female Survivor

Thank you NAPAC. Your team were brilliant. They’ve helped me to turn my life around. I thought I would never come to terms with what happened to me as a child but you have shown me that recovery and healing is possible. Thank you from the hurting child deep inside my memory.

Female Survivor

Thanks NAPAC. You’ve helped me to change. I was never able to talk about what happened to me before. I never thought I would recover. Thank you for helping me to believe in myself.

Male Survivor

Thank you for taking the time to get in touch. I have contacted the support groups you suggested.

What is a survivor?

What is a survivor? How do you know if you’re a survivor? What is child abuse? I want to make the world a better place. I want to shout and scream and make abusers stop!

Booklet (.pdf) and Audio (.mp3)

Was it really abuse?

Can I call it abuse? It wasn’t sexual abuse, It wasn’t rape so I’m not sure if it counts as abuse. Why is most of the support for survivors of sexual abuse? What about the rest of us?

It wasn't your fault

Was it my fault? I feel like it was my fault, I could have stopped it but could I have stopped it? Was I really so unlovable? Why didn’t I know that it was wrong?

Booklet (.pdf) and Audio (.mp3)

You are not alone

Why doesn’t anyone understand? Am I the only one? I feel so alone – I hate carrying this secret! Why won’t anyone believe me? Will anyone believe me? Trust us – you are not alone!

Healing at your own pace

When will I feel better? Why do I still feel like this? How long will it take for me to feel better? What if I never feel better?

Untangling the web of confusion

I’m confused! Why did I keep going back to that person if I knew it was wrong? My body reacted so how can I call it abuse?
