About our cause
Quetzal supports women who have experienced any form of childhood sexual abuse (CSA), across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR). We do this through the delivery of free counselling sessions, emotional support and group programmes. We also deliver outreach to raise awareness of the impact of CSA across communities in LLR. Our organisation is named after the quetzal, a beautiful Central American bird. The quetzal’s refusal to live in captivity makes it synonymous with freedom and liberation. At Quetzal we help women to break down the bars of their psychological cages and gain freedom from trauma.
Quetzal uses a trauma-informed approach in all its work, so we understand and work with the widespread impact of trauma. We fully integrate knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures and practices to actively prevent re-traumatisation while empowering survivors to take charge of their recovery.
Women that access our services suffer from a range of mental health issues and psychological distress. They are often in crisis, at risk of suicide or self-harm and in desperate need of support. Our work enables them to transform their lives, giving them time and space to begin to recover, helping them build stronger family and community links and improving their chances of future growth and development. Survivors of childhood sexual abuse have experienced an abuse of power that has a long-lasting impact on their physiology, mental health and the way they relate to themselves and others, therefore, it requires in-depth person-centred support to recover from.
Our core work is the provision of individual counselling. This takes place at our spaces in Leicester, Melton and Lutterworth or online via zoom or phone call depending on the individual requirements of the client. We work in close collaboration with other ‘Violence against Women and Girls’ (VAWG) services in our area, however CSA creates unique complex trauma, where very specialist in-depth counselling is needed to deal with deeply embedded issues. Quetzal has an open-door policy, and beneficiaries can return to us for counselling and support as many times as they need.
