Abstract
The article focuses on the personal account of a survivor of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, which resulted in 97 deaths. The survivor describes decades of unspoken trauma and isolation until discovering the Hillsborough Survivors Support Alliance (HSA), a charity run by survivors offering group support and tailored therapy. Accessing this support in 2019 and beginning therapy in 2020 helped him process his experiences, overcome survivor’s guilt, and regain control over his emotions. The narrative highlights the importance of survivor-led support networks in addressing long-term psychological effects of traumatic events. [Extracted from the article]
