Creating a safe space for yourself after trauma is an act of reclamation.

It’s about more than your physical surroundings; it is also about honouring your boundaries, listening to your body, and allowing yourself to feel without judgment. Whether your safe space is a quiet room, a creative outlet, or simply saying "no" to protect your energy, you deserve comfort, security, and peace.

For more information about self-care and healing, you can visit our website, keep an eye on our feed, or get in touch with us.

You can call or text the helpline:
📅 5pm – midnight every day
📞08088 01 03 02
📲 07867 410 027

Remember, you do not have to navigate this alone. We are here to listen, support, and stand by you every step of the way. 💜

June is Pride Month, a time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community while also raising awareness of issues that too often go unseen, including domestic abuse. 🌈

In the LGBTQ+ community:
• 1 in 4 le***an people experience domestic abuse
• 1 in 5 bis*xual people experience domestic abuse
• 1 in 4 trans people experience domestic abuse

At Solace, we support LGBTQ+ survivors and are here for anyone experiencing abuse.

If you are experiencing domestic abuse Solace is here for you.

Our Prevention Team worked with over 2800 young people across Forth Valley since November last year to ensure they have increased knowledge and more positive attitudes toward s*xual relationships, and less tolerance of violence.

They talk about:

💟 what consent really means and how to practice it in their everyday lives
💟 the links between power, inequality and s*xual violence and how to recognise imbalances within relationships
💟 what s*xual violence is, the forms it can take, and how to challenge attitudes and behaviours that enable it to exist in society
💟 how to navigate online spaces safely
💟 how po*******hy and other types of media can depict unrealistic and harmful representations of s*x and relationships

Students' valuable feedback illustrates the exceptional job that our workers are doing in schools and why it's so important.
