Episode notes
Impact and Approach to Abuse Inquiry
- Survivors of historical sexual abuse face complex, long-lasting impacts involving personal relationships and substance issues.
- Interviews for the new commission are designed to be trauma-informed and non-confrontational to reduce re-traumatization.
Seek Support for Abuse Survivors
- Contact rape crisis centers like Galway Rape Crisis Centre for support if you've experienced abuse.
- They provide assessment and ongoing counseling tailored to individual needs.
Awareness Prompts Healing Decisions
- Awareness from public discussions can gradually encourage survivors to seek help on their own timing.
- Coming forward is a deeply personal choice influenced by long-term coping mechanisms.
