Your Story Matters (YSM)

Your Story Matters (YSM) is a digital companion for survivors of sexual assault launched in 2019. Formerly called YANA (You Are Not Alone) and funded by Nesta and the UK Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport through the Tech to Connect Challenge, YSM has curated content including recovery, moving through trauma, accessing justice through the law, stories of resilience, and allows survivors the option to create an account and save their journey.
