Testimonials

“It was the most friendly, welcoming, understanding and informative call I think I've ever had. It helped me find answers to help my wife whom I love dearly, who walked out on a twenty year marriage and four children because her past abuse was coming up. Thanks a lot, just hope it's not too late for my situation.”

ANONYMOUS

“The most significant impact of the work that Blue Knot Foundation did was that it helped heal a rift between family members – I was stuck in the middle initially and felt alone, but Blue Knot Foundation provided me with a lot of support and resources. I felt well supported.”

ANONYMOUS

“I think Blue Knot Foundation is a fantastic support organisation for people who have experienced childhood trauma/abuse, for their families/close friends and for professionals who would like to learn how to more effectively work with these people.”

Psychologist Melbourne

“I came here today to support my friend but found it all so informative. I too was abused as a child but have always tried to ignore it... This workshop has me thinking, questioning and wondering!!”

Self-care for supporters

If you’re supporting a survivor it can be easy to ignore your own needs. At times, you can feel helpless and alone. It can be demanding. And physically and emotionally draining. That’s why it’s important to look after yourself. The first step is paying sufficient attention the basics. That means eating well, staying hydrated, getting plenty of sleep, regular exercise and time out for a break and to enjoy yourself.
