After the sessions with her I wasn’t as insecure as I was before, because she helped me to see a better version of myself.
My support worker made me feel courageous and unstoppable.
The support I received helped me a lot. It helped me realise I can talk to people about my problems, instead of keeping them to myself. It helped me to cope with my mental health, making it easier to deal with.
My support worker made me feel courageous and unstoppable. There were times where I felt like she bent over backwards for me. She was a really good listener and a good teacher. She helped me transform from a naive girl into an intelligent one.
She helped me become aware of the world and to be independent. After the sessions with her I wasn’t as insecure as I was before, because she helped me to see a better version of myself.
Overall, one thing I’ve learnt is how to be aware of toxic relationships and how to say no. I now know how to keep myself safe and how to stay out of unhealthy relationships.
How Safer London helped Olivia
Trauma-informed Caseworker
Every young Londoner is allocated a single trauma-informed caseworker, who works alongside them from 6 to 12 months (with support extending up to two years if required).
Person Centred Support
The support is built around the young Londoner and their needs. The session plans, session content and overall outcomes are influenced by the young Londoner, with their voice being central to what the support looks like.
If you’re a young Londoner or parent whose worked with Safer London, and share us your story via email to inspire others. Make sure you let us know the name of your caseworker when you get in touch.
