Helen Bamber Foundation

Anonymous — Tue, 03/16/2010 - 08:53

Dear Afryea,

The Helen Bamber Foundation is a wonderful organisation who works hard to support people like you.

Here is some information from their website:
"Exploitation, violence and atrocity are words familiar to all of us. No one likes them, and it’s only natural to shut them out. We are a collective of human rights specialists who respond with compassion and creativity to the legacy of cruelty.

We work with survivors of genocide, torture, trafficking and rape who seek safety and refuge. We draw upon their inner resources, providing them with practical support and treatment to deal with their pasts and build new futures

Our clients are courageous but vulnerable people. The mental scars are expressed through nightmares, horrifying flashbacks and self-loathing. We help to mend what was broken in a safe and supportive environment, where restorative relationships enable survivors to feel whole again."

Visit their website at: http://www.helenbamber.org/

I hope they can offer you some support.

Best regards
Sarah
