We’re here to help you thrive on the
healing journey, beyond surviving. 
Welcome to Beyond Surviving, a charitable organisation dedicated to connecting survivors of domestic, sexual, and gender-based violence (DSGBV) and empowering them to live their most fulfilled lives beyond merely surviving.
Founded by Ciara Mangan, a courageous rape survivor, Beyond Surviving is committed to providing support and empowerment to fellow survivors as they navigate the often very isolating path towards healing.
We believe that healing is strengthened by community, which is why we offer a safe space for survivors to build meaningful relationships with those who share similar experiences.
Beyond Surviving represents hope and empowerment, encouraging survivors to release any feelings of shame often associated with DSGBV.
We are proud survivors, reclaiming our agency with courage, and although our painful experiences may be a part of our story, they certainly do not define us nor hold us back!

Have you ever…?
Wondered if others truly grasp the long lasting pain you feel?
Worried about burdening others because you’re ‘still’ hurting?
Felt frustrated you have to heal from something that wasn’t your fault?
Felt uncertain about what healing truly entails or who to turn to for support?
Sought to understand trauma on a deeper level and its impact on the mind, body, and brain?
Questioned whether others are also struggling on the healing journey?
Felt defeated during tough times?
Found yourself responding more intensely to life’s challenges compared to others?
Felt lonely and long to connect with fellow survivors?
Felt as though your life is irreparably damaged, or that you’ve been left behind and lost in life?
Even if you’ve answered ‘no’ to all of the above, it’s important to know you are not alone. Beyond Surviving offers support and direction to all survivors and their supporters regardless of where they are on the healing journey.
