RADA IN CONTEXT

Rape

Alcohol

Drugs

Abuse

Methodological Point of Difference

• RADA adopts a holistic approach to renewal – using proactive education programmes to develop skills, behaviours and attitudes which shall lead to improved self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision-making, including reactive healing processes in caring for traumatised people.
• RADA offers a caring and comprehensive service under one roof, employing trained and skilled practitioners who use proven methods for renewal.
• RADA’s systems shall ensure efficient and secure processes with specific reference to the reporting of rape and abuse cases.
• RADA offers training and workshops to people in their care, assisting them in every way possible to realise their own worth and become self-empowered

Philosophical Point of Difference

• RADA believes in the value of life for all – that people are fundamentally good and deserve a life lived with purpose.
• RADA’s healing processes are significantly different because we help people – no matter how damaged – to recognise and access the power and light that exists within, to heal themselves and take responsibility for their own lives.
• RADA’s processes scrutinise the inner psyche, identifying behavioural patterns and trigger points.
• A heightened sense of self-awareness and understanding facilitates a more peaceful connection with oneself and the world, eradicating fear or the need to harm other
