This Black History Month, we are recognising the work of Black feminists who shape and inspire the intersectional feminist movement ✊💜

To provide support to all survivors of sexual violence, we must address the racial and colonial narratives that impact Black survivors that intersects with misogyny.

Today is World Menopause Day as part of Menopause Awareness Month

A 2019 study by Gibson et al found that women who had experienced sexual violence and associated post-trauma symptoms were more likely to have different physiological responses to stress, aging and menopause.

This suggests the need for clinicians to provide better and bespoke care for women entering the menopause who have previously experienced trauma.

Dr Louise Newson, GP, Menopause Specialist said "‘Menopausal women who have been the victims of domestic abuse are often struggling with symptoms too. Some women have told me that they feel so utterly dreadful and lack so much confidence that they “deserve” to be abused,‘ she says.

"This is absolutely not the case; all forms of domestic abuse are completely unacceptable, and I would urge anyone who is experiencing abuse to seek help.
"Remember, it is not your fault and you are not alone."

💜 Every Survivor Deserves to Heal

Imagine rebuilding your life after r**e, sexual and domestic abuse. Imagine reclaiming your voice, dreaming without fear, and building a future filled with safety and hope.

For survivors in Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes, this is possible, but they can’t do it alone.

This Big Give campaign is your chance to stand with them, to show them they are seen, heard, and valued.

💜 World Mental Health Day 💜
Today, we mark World Mental Health Day, a day to recognise why good mental health is so important.

This year’s theme, “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change.”, reminds us that listening to survivors isn’t just important, it’s essential. Their stories shape how we understand trauma, healing, and resilience. When we centre lived experience, we create real, meaningful support that meets people where they are.

At SAASSBMK, we know that survivors’ voices guide our work. We support people to explore how sexual and domestic abuse has impacted their mental health, and together, we build coping mechanisms and resilience to reclaim strength and hope.

You don’t have to face it alone. Your lived experience is valid, and your healing matters.

💬 If you’d like to talk, learn coping strategies, or build resilience, we’re here to listen.
