The Lighthouse Sanctuary aims to provide a safe, informative and supportive environment for survivors of abuse.

The website seeks to provide survivors of abuse and their families/partners with information and resources for support. To provide people with a better understanding of the emotional, physical and mental trauma of living and surviving abuse.

The message board is open to survivors of abuse to share experiences, and gain support from each other in a non-judgemental and understanding environment. It is not a substitute for professional help and counselling but discussing abuse with others who have survived can be invaluable.
