Our Mission

Break Down The Barriers Of Isolation And Avoidance

Our Peer Support Groups, Coaching, and Active Listening aim to break down the barriers of isolation and avoidance.  They are a big part of PTSD and often lead people to think that they are alone with their demons.

We want to challenge the way we all think about, talk about, and respond to PTSD in all areas from home to employment. Raising awareness with our CPD accredited training and ongoing work in the community, to reduce the stigma of the condition across the population.

Our goal is to show the true potential of peer support in healing from trauma, and make this available to as many people as possible. 

We believe in mainstream treatment approaches, but there are some things that someone who has not lived through trauma simply can not understand. 

Our mission is to offer a safe, professional, and effective peer support service for people who are having trouble accessing mainstream trauma therapy, or have not achieved the recovery they desire through traditional approaches. 

We believe that peer support can be used alongside mainstream treatment modalities, and will continue to advocate for it to be included in the ‘gold standard’ of care for all mental health services.

  • Reduce the number of suicides and premature death as a result of PTSD.
  • Help people who are lonely, isolated and have chosen the slow death of negative life choices and substance use that there is a way out of PTSD.
  • Help those who are "sick and tired, of being sick and tired" to manage the past and work on a positive present and future.
