I was wondering if you might have any UK case studies from childhood abuse survivors, who would like to share their experiences for a feature story?
They would need to be happy to waive their anonymity and have a chat on their phone with me, and also send over some images to go out with the story. There needs to be a conviction and the story needs to have not made the national newspapers before. Once written, they will get a full read back of the copy before it gets sent out on our news wire.
I understand a lot of the people you might work with are quite vulnerable and may not wish to do this, which is completely understandable as it’s a big step. I just wanted to see if there was anyone who would feel comfortable to do a sensitively conducted interview with me, in hopes of helping others who may be struggling through a similar situation.
We will of course link back to HAVOCA in the piece - it would be great to raise even more awareness and support for such a brilliant organisation that helps so many people.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you have any questions at all, please feel free to let me know!
