Our model for the centre is one of feminist counselling where the survivor is presented with all available options and the team helps them make an informed decision about further action. In doing so, the survivor has complete autonomy to decide the course of their life. We also prioritise the mental health of the survivors, who often show signs of depression, anxiety and trauma-bonding, among other conditions. By putting the needs of the survivor first, we are able to provide specialised services that are trauma-informed and sensitive to the larger contexts in which abuse is perpetrated.
