My role

I am the LGBTQ+ sexual exploitation specialist at Basis Yorkshire. I support young people and adult women who are at risk of/have been sexually exploited/abused. My role is to develop trusting relationships and offer a safe space for young people to be heard while providing trauma informed, holistic support around topics such as consent, sexual health, boundaries, online safety, self-esteem, and healthy relationships. I help empower and support LGBTQ+ young people to move forward in their lives following their experiences of trauma and abuse.
