⭐Are you waiting to access our counselling servi

⭐Are you waiting to access our counselling service, or have you previously received counselling at Survivors' Network?⭐

If your answer is yes, then we would love to know a little bit more about you and your ideas for how the system could be improved.

We are currently working with 2 external consultants (Lisa Ward and Natalie Brook) who are supporting us to review and develop our adult therapeutic/counselling service, with a particular focus on the management of the counselling waiting list.

Lisa and Natalie have put together a short online survey for you to share your views (link in bio!) This survey should take about 10 minutes to complete and your responses will be shared anonymously with Lisa and Natalie. The deadline for completing the survey is Monday 28th March 2022.

Results from this survey will be summarised in a report that will be shared with Survivors’ Network in the coming months.

❔Got some questions first❔

If you have any questions, or would like to know more about this project, please feel free to contact Lisa and Natalie at lisa@iamlisaward.com and nataliecbrook@gmail.com.

📣Help sussexpoliceforce to better understand Violence Against Women and Girls in Sussex📣

1️⃣ Some background...

SMSR Ltd. is an independent research agency, who are currently supporting Sussex Police to better understand Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) in Sussex.

In 2021/22 they carried out an online survey, and over 2,200 women and girls across Sussex responded, sharing their experiences of violence, abuse and harassment.

2️⃣ What's happening now?

Following this survey, SMSR Ltd. are now looking to have conversations with self-identified women and girls who have experienced violence or harassment in a public place in Sussex over the past twelve months.

The aim of these conversations is to further understand the data collected from the online survey, particularly women and girls' experiences of reporting crime and how this could be improved.

3️⃣ How will it work?

These anonymous and informal conversations will take place in March 2022, either individually or in groups.

Conversations will last around 45 minutes and be carried out by independent researchers. Conversations can be done over the telephone or by virtual meetings (like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, etc.).

Participants will be compensated with £30 for their time.

4️⃣ How do I take part?

If you would like to participate in this research or discuss it further, please contact Jae Saleh (Research Consultant) by email at jsaleh@smsr.co.uk or telephone on 07800 846 035.

Happy International Women’s Day and Women’s Hi

Happy International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month 2022!

To celebrate, we have decided to reopen our archive of Speak Out newsletters and share with you the voices of the incredible local women who founded and built our organisation. We are so excited to explore our organisation’s past and journey from a small feminist grassroots organisation in Brighton & Hove, all the way to being The Rape Crisis Centre for Sussex.

❓What is 'Speak Out'❓

Speak Out was a regular newsletter produced by Survivors’ Network. The newsletter was first printed in 1990 when our organisation was set up, and there are over 100 issues of Speak Out in our archive!

Speak Out was a way of keeping our supporters updated about our work, as well as a vital space for survivors of sexual violence, abuse and harassment to express themselves and their experiences through articles, letters, poetry, artwork and more.

❓What's happening❓

We are now slowly digitalising the entire archive. We have uploaded the first 4 issues from the 1990’s (although we can't seem to find issue 1, so if anyone has a copy please do get in touch!) onto our website and will be adding a new issue each week.

Link in bio to have a read! Please feel free to share your thoughts and feelings around each issue in the comments below 👇🏾

* Disclaimer: Please be aware that the views shared within the earlier issues of Speak Out are not necessarily reflective of the vision, mission and values held by our organisation today. Please also be aware that many issues of Speak Out contain disclosures and discussions of sexual violence, abuse, harassment and trauma, which some people may find particularly difficult and even triggering.*

You might recognise this post of ours… we said the same thing back in August 2021 in support of the people of Afghanistan, and we’re devastated to find ourselves having to say it again for yet another community 💙💛
