Find your situation
We stand with individuals and families navigating life's most challenging moments, whose fundamental human rights have been violated, including survivors of developmental trauma and all forms of abuse that erode personal dignity and family stability.
You need someone to talk to, and care that lasts
Trauma, loss, early harm, and long-term mental illness shape daily life. They can also make it harder to protect your rights, keep your home, or stay connected to your family. We offer continuing care, and a lawyer when you need one.
Legal help
- Protection of your legal rights, including in family, housing, and guardianship matters
- Representation when decisions are being made about you
- Mental health advocacy with institutions and authorities
- Support for family members and carers on legal questions
Psychological care

- Continuing care for long-term mental health conditions
- Home-based sessions if travel is difficult

You are going through a divorce, or your family is coming apart
Separation changes everything at once: where you live, your money, your children, your sense of yourself. We help you handle the legal side and the human side together.
Legal help
- Advice on your rights in marriage, divorce, property, and maintenance

- Therapy for your children, so they have their own space to talk
- Support before and after hard days in court
You are trying to protect a child
A child in danger, a custody fight, a guardian who has died: these are frightening situations for the adults and for the child. We work for the child's safety and wellbeing, and support the adults who are caring for them.
Legal help
- Custody, access, and guardianship cases
- Child protection measures where a child is at risk
- Representing the child's interests before courts and authorities

- Preparation for children who must speak to a court or official

You have experienced violence or abuse
Whatever has happened, and whoever did it, you have the right to safety and to be heard. We work at your pace. You decide what steps to take and when.
Legal help
- Protection orders and other legal measures to keep you safe
- Support to make a criminal complaint, if you choose to

You are in prison, facing imprisonment, or supporting someone who is
Being detained does not take away your rights, or your need for care. Our lawyers and psychologists come into prisons and work with people there. Family members can contact us on behalf of someone inside.

- Care for trauma, including trauma from before or during detention
- Care for ongoing mental health conditions
- Support for families outside
You cannot travel to us
Illness, disability, safety, or the aftermath of an incident can make leaving home impossible. That should not cut you off from help. We bring both the lawyer and the psychologist to you.
Legal help
- Legal advice and representation arranged from your home
- Help with documents, filings, and court dates you cannot attend in person
- Protection of your rights while you are unable to move freely
- Advocacy with authorities on your behalf
