Organisation Summary

Stepping Out has been supporting female survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) since 1986 through programs, advocacy and referrals, social inclusion programs, workshops and case management of survivors experiencing homelessness.

CSA survivors experience complex mental health issues due to the impacts of their childhood trauma, with social isolation and socio-economic disadvantage preventing them from seeking support. Stepping Out Program focuses on improving survivors’ capacity to live productive, healthy lives encouraging them to engage in the wider community. Without support they have a substantially reduced capacity to take part in activities of daily living and effectively participate in the community.
