Healing isn’t linear — and it certainly isn’t perfect.
You’re still worthy. You’re still enough.
You’re still growing, and that matters.

After trauma, many survivors feel disconnected from their bodies. Gentle movement – like stretching, walking, or yoga – can help rebuild that connection. Movement isn’t about fitness or performance, it’s about feeling safe in your own skin again.

Start where you are. Stretch your hands, roll your shoulders, or simply notice your feet on the ground. These small moments of movement can release tension and remind your body it is safe.

Healing is not just in the mind – it’s in every breath and every step.

💬 What gentle movement helps you feel grounded?

One of the rarest and most important conversations at will be our Men’s Panel.

Male survivors are often the least visible in discussions about trauma. Shame, stigma, and societal expectations keep many silent. This panel creates a space for men to speak openly about their experiences and the barriers they face.

It is an opportunity to listen, learn, and challenge the silence that surrounds male survivors.

Panels like this are few and far between. That makes this session one of the most significant parts of the day.

At the heart of are six workshops, each led by survivors and advocates who bring lived and living experience to the conversation.

The topics are diverse and deeply relevant:

- Finding voice after silence
- Creative advocacy through art, poetry, and music
- Healing from postpartum trauma
- Pathways to long-term recovery
- The price of success and silence
- Rediscovering resilience and purpose

Delegates will choose two workshops to attend live. All others will be available as recordings afterwards.

This variety reflects the complexity of trauma and the many routes to healing.

The Thriving Survivors Annual Conference 2025 takes place on Thursday, 20th November, online.

The day will include two panel discussions, six survivor-led workshops, and the launch of our 2026 International Tour.

They say silence is heavy,
but so is the weight of pain carried alone.
In the quiet hours, when hope feels far,
remember—your story is not finished.

A hand can reach.
A voice can listen.
A community can hold what feels too much.

You are not your darkest thought.
You are not your worst day.
You are the breath between now and tomorrow,
the chance to begin again.

You are needed. You are valued. You are loved.

Every year, thousands of lives are lost to su***de, each one a devastating reminder of the urgent need for compassionate and trauma-informed workplaces. As leaders, colleagues, and human beings, we have a collective responsibility to create environments where people feel seen, supported, and safe enough to speak up.
