Supporting people when they need us most.  Here are some of our stories about how people in our community are navigating life with support from Bethany.

Building a new life in Geelong

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sally and her infant son James were experiencing the frightening intensity of a violent relationship and a lockdown.

Through ongoing emotional and mental health supports provided by Bethany, they are now well equipped and supported to make a fresh start in their new city.

“It’s been really great to have someone to talk to and debrief. I was really frazzled at the beginning of COVID and the help to refocus on different areas of our life that we could work on, has been great.”

“Help provided, someone to talk to. Someone who listens to me. Someone who will listen even if they can’t help. They are always trying.”

“I only hope more women can find you and reach out to you for support
