Why I started Thriving Survivors
Hi, I'm Ashley Scotland, Chief Executive and Founder of Thriving Survivors. My long-term vision for Thriving Survivors has always been to create an end to end service that was based on my own unique insight. I am a living illustration of the three-stage research demonstrating that a sense of purpose in life is associated with both recovery and resilience in trauma survivors. Judith L. Herman, M.D. a Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School coined the three-stage theory in her work "Trauma and recovery: the aftermath of violence - from domestic abuse to political terror". The impact that this research had on my recovery and indeed on my life has been my inspiration from the very beginning. |
Who We Help
Thriving Survivors have supported over 500 people to date, using a person centred approach and unique survivor-built programmes we have a tried, tested and proven track record in supporting those affected by trauma to change their lives. When using the work of Herman (1992) as a basis, Thriving Survivors have developed the strategic objectives of ‘Re-empower, Re-Integrate and Re-Employ’
My time with Thriving Survivors has been wonderful.
I have met new people and gained new skills whilst working through my trauma.
