I heard a commercial this morning that really hits home for me. Its a safe haven for domestic violence and sexual violence and im wanting to volunteer for the sexual violence victims. I am a sexual abuse survivor myself and im only 6 days into my recovery. Am i doing the right thing?

I was told to be of service for many different reasons. Not only am I helping someone else out, I am forgetting about myself for the time I'm helping someone else. Sometimes all I need is tp get out of my own head and way.

I agree and I feel like there’s women and children that need another female to be with them when it comes to the sexual abuse they’ve encountered

If you find your strength in helping it’s truly a blessing I would pay close attention to yourself and your feelings you have to be ok in order to be ok for others I hope this helps pray for some guidance

Yes, being of service definitely helps in your own recovery. The only caution I would say is aside from recovery from substance use in terms of your own experiences with that type of trauma. Are you in a good place in that Recovery?
