Mission Statement
Body & Soul transform the life-threatening effects of childhood adversity and trauma by providing innovative, therapeutic and community-centred support to children, young people and families whose lives have been devastated by abuse, neglect, illness and family dysfunction.
About This Cause
Body & Soul (B&S) was founded in 1996 to formalise the work of Emma Colyer with HIV+ women and children, all suffering from acute traumatic experiences in the past (e.g. rape, trafficking, neglect) and grave existential adversity in the present (e.g. chronic life-threatening illness, stigma and discrimination, domestic violence, destitution). B&S provides long-term practical, legal and therapeutic support for over 6,000 people of all ages experiencing extremely poor mental and physical health owing to adverse childhood experiences and the creeping multi-faceted impact of pandemic illness.
