What Others Have Experienced

“I was at rock bottom. After years of domestic violence, I was homeless and bankrupt, going through the courts for a divorce, being harassed by my ex husband, and battling with so many difficulties all related to this life collapse. The worker spoke for me at a time when I just didn’t have the strength to handle it on my own anymore”
Maya, 53.
“I never thought the children had seen anything but one day my youngest son said ‘It happened on the day daddy held you by the neck really hard. It was then I started attending art therapy sessions at Solace with my sons – I had no idea they had seen anything or how badly it had affected them.”
Anita, 27.
