Dear Survivor,
Over the expanse of my life, I have in one way or another, found solace in my ability to find solutions for the wounded, the homeless, the abused and the lost. I too was a victim of abuse in a variety of manner; I never gave up!
During my final struggle to hang on to life, I ultimately realized that all I needed was a “Hand Up” and not a “Hand Out”. I was blessed to have a few Angelic Souls within reach who recognized the worth in me during a time when I couldn’t see my own value.
At Abuse Refuge Org, we provide a plethora of “Hand Ups” and a myriad of hope.
Call upon ARO and we will do our absolute best to guide, shelter and counsel you. Most importantly, we will help to secure you in the knowledge and understanding that your pain shall pass and your path towards healing starts with us.

Norm therapy®
Norm Therapy® is an innovative and transformative approach to healing, designed specifically for survivors of various forms of abuse. At its core, Norm Therapy® is more than just a method; it’s a journey towards empowerment and self-discovery. Developed with the understanding that abuse impacts individuals in profoundly unique ways, it offers a personalized path to healing that respects and responds to the individual needs of each survivor. This therapy transcends the traditional bounds of talk therapy by integrating specialized techniques, insights, and compassionate support, all aimed at helping individuals remember and understand the true narrative of their experiences. Rather than a one-size-fits-all solution, Norm Therapy® embraces the complexity of personal experiences, providing a safe, nurturing environment where survivors can explore their feelings, confront their trauma, and reclaim their sense of self. It stands as a beacon of hope and strength, guiding survivors out of the shadows of their past and into a future where they can thrive with courage, clarity, and renewed purpose. With Norm Therapy®, healing is not just a possibility; it’s a journey embarked upon with unwavering support and understanding, leading to a life redefined on one’s own terms.

The Journey of Norm Therapy®: From Humble Beginnings to Transformative Impact
Once, Norm Therapy® was just a fledgling idea, a spark in the dark, aiming to light the way for those lost in the shadows of abuse. In those early days, our mission was clear yet challenging: to offer a beacon of hope to victims and survivors, navigating a world where their pain was often silenced or misunderstood. Resources were limited, and recognition was scarce. Each step forward was a fight against the tide of conventional approaches, where the unique needs of abuse survivors were often sidelined.
Fast forward to today, and Norm Therapy® stands as a testament to resilience and transformative power. No longer confined to the background, we are at the forefront of a movement that champions the dignity and healing of abuse survivors. Our approach, once a whisper in a sea of traditional methods, now roars with the voices of countless individuals we’ve empowered.
We’ve shattered barriers, bringing talk therapy into the light, recognizing it not just as a form of support, but as a lifeline – a crucial step towards healing and reclaiming power. Our reach has expanded globally, touching lives in corners of the world we once could only dream of reaching. The stories of change, of lives turned around, of silenced voices finding their echo, are the milestones marking our journey.
Today, Norm Therapy® is more than a service; it’s a community, a movement, a promise of unwavering support. From the depths of our challenging past to the heights we soar today, we’ve held onto our core belief: everyone deserves a chance to heal, to grow, and to transform their narrative from one of victimhood to victorious living.
In this growth, our commitment remains unshaken. We continue to innovate, to reach out, to heal, and most importantly, to listen. The journey from then to now is not just our story; it’s the story of every individual we’ve had the honor to guide towards a new dawn of hope and healing.
This narrative aims to encapsulate the growth and emotional journey of Norm Therapy® from its inception to its current state of impact.

Abuse and violence are widely recognized as public health concerns. Abuse and violence occur in a broad range of relationships. Violence disproportionately affects vulnerable populations. We have to protect children, elders, and other vulnerable populations from abuse.
Elderly Abuse in care homes is a pressing issue that poses significant dangers to some of society’s most vulnerable individuals. As the global population ages, more people are entrusted to care homes, where they should receive the respect, compassion, and professional care they deserve. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.
Child Financial Abuse at its core involves the inappropriate use of a child’s identity or assets for personal gain. Financial Abuse is a form of mistreatment often overshadowed by its physical and emotional counterparts, which wields a silent yet devastating impact on children
Technology and its societal role have changed drastically over the last 20 years. Smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and other commonly used technology provide convenience, putting the world at our fingertips. But what happens when that technology is used to abuse others?
Physical Abuse during adolescence is a serious concern that can have far-reaching effects on an individual’s development. This form of abuse is not only an immediate harm; it has a long-lasting effect and can cause stunted growth psychologically, emotionally, and physically.
Domestic Violence can affect anyone, but how it manifests itself may be different depending on the setting in which it occurs. Societal acceptance within a culture can play a large role in the survivor’s decision to leave an abusive situation. Societal acceptance of Domestic Violence is widespread among many developing countries, with 36% of people believing it is justified in certain situations.
Rape is a heinous crime that leaves scars on its survivors, both physically and psychologically. The aftermath of sexual assault can be seen through every aspect of a survivor’s life, altering their sense of self, relationships, and overall well-being. Let’s delve into the profound consequences of rape and shed light on the pain endured by Survivors.
Many children who experience child neglect and abuse also have parents who are living with an active addiction. Around 25% of children in the United States are exposed to Alcohol Abuse alone within their families (Shoreline Recovery Center, 2022).
Domestic Abuse can happen to anyone, regardless of their background, gender, age, ethnicity, religion, or sexuality. Around one in five women experience Domestic Abuse in their lifetime from a partner or ex-partner (NHS Inform, 2023). One in three women are affected by Domestic Abuse when pregnant (Tommy’s Pregnancy Hub, 2023).
Narcissism is a personality trait characterized by excessive self-importance and a constant need for admiration. Narcissists often lack empathy, and their actions can have profound effects on adults in various aspects of their lives (Mitra, P., & Fluyau, D., 2023).
In many ways, technology has improved our lives. It is integral to many aspects of our daily lives.
In today’s fast-paced and competitive work environments, it’s unsurprising that many individuals experience workspace anxiety.
Abuse is common in relationships but isn’t only limited to romantic relationships.
Religious organizations vary in their attitudes towards members of the LGBTQ+ community
Emotional Abuse in children is a deeply concerning issue that often goes unnoticed, leaving lasting scars.
Depression and post-traumatic stress disorder are more frequently diagnosed in sexual assault survivors.
Many of us can’t comprehend how anyone could shoot a child or youth, no matter their age, relationship, or other factors.
