TALK Hong Kong | sexual abuse & assault survivors support group

we are all
a work in progress…

We are a volunteer peer led group of women / femme survivors of sexual abuse and assault based in Hong Kong. Our aim is to provide a community for English speaking women who would like a safe place to talk to others who are in the process of healing.

Why did I start this group?

I’m a survivor too. A couple years into therapy and enjoying working toward understanding myself and creating an even more free life for myself. In 2019 I founded TALK when I couldn’t find any English support groups. I am not a therapist and can’t offer you professional psychological support but I can offer you the power and comfort of fellowship – join us!
