Valerie chats with Ciara Mangan, a determined survivor who transformed her trauma into a beacon of hope by founding Beyond Surviving, a vital support organisation for survivors of sexual violence and domestic abuse.

Ciara shares her personal journey and the realisation that while traditional services may provide initial support, there was a glaring need for a community where survivors could heal together. Discover how peer support and shared experiences form the backbone of her organisation, creating a non-judgmental safe space for healing and advocacy.
