Content warning: This post contains discussions of sexual violence and responses to trauma.

When we experience something traumatic, our bodies react instinctively to try and keep us safe. There are actually 5 common trauma responses, not just 2: fight, flight, freeze, flop, and fawn.

These aren't conscious choices, and there's no 'right' way to respond to trauma. Swipe through to learn more about each one πŸ‘‰

If this post resonates with you, or you support someone affected by sexual violence or abuse, SRASAC is here. Our services are free and confidential, and we support survivors of all ages and genders who are living in Sheffield.

Today is International Self-Care Day πŸ’œ

Marked every year on the 24th of July, today is a gentle reminder of the importance of taking care of ourselves as the foundation of health and wellbeing. The date - 24/7 - is a symbolic reminder that self-care should be practiced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Whatever self-care looks like for you today, we hope you find a moment to fill your cup in whatever way works best for you. πŸ«–β˜•

✨ You've been invited to take part in our new Self-Soothe Bags Project! ✨

We're looking for volunteers to help us create small, handmade fabric pouches for survivors of sexual violence.

Many survivors find comfort in keeping small sensory or grounding items close by, whether that's a smooth stone, a fidget toy, a favourite scent, a piece of soft fabric, or another meaningful object. Our Self-Soothe Bags are designed to give clients a safe, personal place to keep these items together.

A handmade pouch may seem like a small thing, but it can become a meaningful part of someone's recovery. Knowing that it was made with care by someone in the community is a quiet reminder that they are not alone.

If our Pocket Pals Project sounds familiar, think of Self-Soothe Bags as its companion. They're designed to work alongside Pocket Pals, with clients able to keep their Pocket Pal inside their Self-Soothe Bag if they wish.

If you'd like to get involved, we'd love to hear from you! Head to www.srasac.org.uk/self-soothe-bags-project for more information about the project and find out how you can get involved πŸ’œ

Happy Disability Pride Month from all of us at SRASAC β€οΈπŸ’›πŸ€πŸ’™πŸ’š

At SRASAC, we are committed to providing a safe and accessible space for disabled survivors. We recognise that disabilities are not always visible, and that disabled survivors often face additional barriers to accessing support. We are committed to reducing those barriers wherever we can.

Today (Saturday 27th June) is national PTSD Awareness Day.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a psychological condition that can occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event or a series of traumatic events. Any kind of traumatic life event can cause PTSD to develop, including sexual violence or abuse.

If you're struggling with symptoms of PTSD or complex PTSD, you're not alone. At SRASAC, we offer free and confidential support and counselling to anyone who has experienced sexual violence at any time in their lives, including people who might be experiencing symptoms of PTSD after experiencing sexual violence.

To find out more about the support we offer and make a referral, head to www.srasac.org.uk

You're not alone πŸ’œ
