CLEAR helps lead the way in professional development opportunities, research and evaluation, evidence-based practice and continuous improvement of services for people impacted by abuse and trauma.
CLEAR is a Centre of Excellence in the development of practice relating to domestic abuse, sexual violence and trauma. We bring together and develop resources, expertise and evidence to support continuous improvement of services from prevention to intervention: locally, nationally and internationally.
For thousands of years stories have been used by us all to entertain, inform, and provide a sense of connection. And stories can play an important role in supporting children who need a bit of help with a social or emotional need. These therapeutic stories are stories created with the aim of providing hope, guidance and healing around a particular issue.
