Supporting International Students with Compassion
🎯 Our Programs
Supporting international students. Preventing harm. Rebuilding lives.
We deliver trauma-informed, culturally inclusive, and practical support programs that help international students recover from abuse, violence, and exploitation.
All of our services are free, confidential, and focused on preventing harm before it escalates.
🛡️ 1. Trauma Recovery & Psychosocial Support
We provide one-on-one and group-based trauma recovery services to international students affected by emotional, physical, or sexual abuse. Our peer-informed approach ensures students feel safe, heard, and supported on their path to healing.

⚖️ 2. Legal Aid & Victim Advocacy
Navigating the justice system can be overwhelming — especially for students unfamiliar with their rights. We connect students with legal professionals and victim support services to ensure they receive advocacy, protection, and representation.
💸 3. Emergency Financial Assistance
Survivors of harm often face financial insecurity or homelessness. We provide short-term emergency financial relief to ensure students can access food, transport, safe housing, or medical support during times of crisis.
🎓 4. Education & Harm Prevention Workshops
Our educational outreach helps students understand their rights, recognise abuse, and know where to turn for help. These sessions are culturally tailored and delivered in partnership with community leaders and institutions.
🤝 5. Peer Support & Community Engagement
We create safe spaces for students to connect, share stories, and support one another. Our flagship initiative, The Minh Story Tour, uses lived experience to reduce stigma and empower student voices through performance and conversation.
