A Connection Circle for Adult Female Survivors of CSA & CSV

Welcome to RISE!

Rising Thru The Cracks, provides community support for Adult Female Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse CSA & Childhood Sexual Violence CSV 18+, by connecting women of shared experience. Together, we remove the isolation and provide the opportunity to be seen, heard and understood, by fellow survivors.

Hosted and created by a fellow CSA & CSV Survivor, we provide the space to find our voices again. To have our experiences "met", and genuinely and compassionately understood amongst women that "know".

It is thru our stories, our struggles, our challenges, our fears - as well as our hopes, goals, triumphs and wellbeing strategies - that we find relief, connection, inspiration and empowerment.

"Shame dies, when stories are told in safe spaces" - Ann Voskamp

Our 2.5hour IN PERSON Connection Circle, held once a month in Helensvale on the Gold Coast, provides the opportunity for adult female survivors 18+ to connect in a shared space, and seek the compassion, understanding, support and wisdom - of women who have not only experienced, but lived, with CSA & CSV.

Organic Ceremonial Cacao & Organic Loose-Leaf Tea provided. FREE pre-loved clothing rummage available on the night, where you are welcome to take home as much as you like. Good quality donations are always appreciated and directly passed on to women and youth within the community.

Ticket holders will receive a confirmation message upon ticket purchase with the specific event location after purchase - and a reminder email also containing our exact address will be sent out on the morning of the event.

Together we are empowered
