Season 7, Episode 6: Strength, Recovery, and Supporting Survivors

What’s it really like to go through the justice system? Experts by Experience starts by asking – and listening.

Created by Catch22Minutes, this series puts lived experience at the heart of the conversation. In each episode, we hear from people who have been through the justice system, as well as professionals working to change it from the inside.

In this powerful and personal conversation, Maggie shares her experience as a survivor, reflecting on the lasting impact of trauma, the challenges of recovery, and the importance of finding the right support.

Through her story, we explore what healing can look like and why specialist services can make a meaningful difference.

We also take a closer look at the work of the Victim Team, discussing how they support survivors by providing information, practical guidance, and emotional support when it is needed most.

This episode shines a light on the realities faced by survivors and the value of compassionate, trauma-informed support.
