Feedback from survivors who have accessed SiT
“Before I came to SIT, I thought I had a personality disorder. When talking to other survivors, I realised others felt the same as I had. They helped set me free and my confidence is increasing. I am feeling much better about myself thanks to SIT. I am now looking forward to the future and being at peace.”
