Moray RapeCrisis

We exist to provide space for survivors’ stories to be held and heard. Part of this is in providing safe, respectful therapeutic spaces for survivors to tell their stories in their own words and at their own pace. Here’s a quote from a survivor who accessed support from our service.

We are here to believe you, to listen to you and to support you. 💜🌿✨

Holding space for remembrance, connection and gentle support.

On Overdose Awareness Day 31st Aug, the Arrows team are creating a welcoming environment where people can come together, honour loved ones, and access compassionate, practical information that may help keep others safe.

You’re invited to join in whatever way feels right for you — whether that’s taking a quiet moment of reflection, learning more about harm reduction, or simply being around understanding faces in a calm social space.

Everyone is welcome, exactly as they are.

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day.

Naloxone is a safe medicine that can temporarily reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, giving someone valuable time until an ambulance arrives.
It is free to access in Moray and could save someone's life.

Together we can reduce harm, prevent overdose deaths and support our communities.💜
