This weeks episode we get to here from Social Worker Bec,

BRISSC (Brisbane Rape and Incest Survivors Support Centre) was established in 1973 and is a community-based, not-for-profit organisation in Brisbane that provides support to women (15+) survivors of sexual violence. Our services include phone support, individual counselling, advocacy, community education and training.

BRISSC is a feminist service, operating on a collective basis. We value women’s experiences, truths, lives and skills and provide a safe, confidential and supportive environment for women who have experienced rape and incest. BRISSC believe that women are the experts of their own lives and thus it is up to them to define their needs. We seek to give women as much control over their decisions and lives as possible.
