Yes, we are so late for the 16 Days of Activism, but we were taking action.

So shocked by the loss of another sister and all our activities around our 10th Anniversary.

We have been delivering Triple R Therapeutical sessions for women who want to understand why they have been through domestic violence, how to recognize domestic violence, how to recover, how to support their children, and how to become resilient. If you wish to benefit from these online sessions within a group, do not hesitate to contact us. Next group starting the end of February. Book your place by sending an email with your contact details to [email protected]

This is one of the ways how we will be educating survivors in 2023.

Triple R consists of 12 online sessions delivered weekly.

This artwork was created by the brave Artist Attard, and the messages is generated from quotes Survivors have shared with us.

If you wish to donate toward our vision, please do so on:

Attempting su***de is not attention-seeking or entertaining, but rather something much deeper that requires immediate help and support.

When witnessing someone who is displaying suicidal behaviour or is clearly in distress, be understanding and always seek the assistance of professionals who are trained and equipped to deal with such situations.

Find your humanity, and be kind even when it feels inconvenient.

At Victim Support Malta, we provide therapy and emotional support to those affected by su***de. Visit our website for more information: www.victimsupport.org.mt

I like this simple graphic explanation of different attachment styles. It provides a simple summary of a very complex idea.

Because I work with children, young people, and families that are experiencing distress and difficulty, I often forget that there are lots of securely attached children and caregivers in the world too!

It is also one of the reasons I trained as a Circle of Security Parenting facilitator - I wanted to be able to share what secure attachment looked and felt like with people who maybe had never experienced it themselves before.

Imagine if you felt good about yourself and felt safe in the world and with other people and imagine if you could help your child to feel that way too! If that is easy for you to imagine then chances are you have a secure attachment style. And if you have a secure attachment style then chances are your child is also experiencing a secure attachment to you.

But what if that's not the case? What if it's hard to imagine because either you don't like yourself very much, or you don't trust other people very much - or both?! It's hard to help a child feel something that you haven't experienced yourself.

Learning about what secure attachment is and how it is created and maintained can help to change the pattern.

We hope that these Messages of Hope will reach all those who have been through, or are going through, sexual assault. Do not suffer in silence. Please reach out, support is out there for you.
