"It opened my eyes. I'd felt like I was the only one and that I was to blame. It was so empowering to meet others, to realise it's not my fault, and that there were people I can talk to about it. Previously I'd got into drugs and one of the biggest missing parts was trying to find the supports around the domestic violence aspect of this."

"Last year's Moving On program helped me solidify my thoughts and next action steps. Discussions really helped self-awareness and to get clearer on where the problem lies and what to do next."

"I found from doing Moving On that sharing stories and conversations with other women is good for me."
