Meet Care :
Care was co-founded and developed by Anesteia Tsagkalidou, Stichting Our Bodies Our Voice and me in 2019. In Care, we currently offer therapist-led support groups for survivors/victims of sexual violence.
Care aims to provide therapeutic benefits to its members through the establishment of a safe(r) space,the constitution of trusting relationships among the members and the sharing of their concerns and experiences.
We believe that silence and isolation are fundamental pillars of the violence(s) we encounter, so coming together becomes a powerful tool through the process of healing and navigating life with trauma, along with other survivors.
