Support for you, whenever you need it
“Recognising that working in the sector is rewarding, the work can and does present with pressures that can lead to physical and mental exhaustion. Finding a balance between work and home-life is important, and making time for self-care is vital. We have been gifted free membership as Refuge employees to the Clementine app, an app that focuses on self-care and support systems.
The app is also available to our survivors who have received a tech assessment and have a safe device to utilise the app, recognising that for many survivors who have experienced trauma the importance of self-care, therapy and support systems are important pathways to healing. ”

The Clementine App is here to gently support your mind and body, helping you find calm amidst stress. Using hypnotherapy, Clementine’s sessions work to calm the central nervous system, ease anxiety, and support restful sleep—providing comfort whenever you need it most. With sessions starting at just 3 minutes, Clementine can be there for you, even on the most challenging days, helping you find small, quiet moments of self-care and calm. Here’s how it can fit into different parts of your day:
For Women Supported by the Refuge:
- For restful sleep: Soothing sessions help you relax into sleep or return to sleep if you wake up during the night.
- When feeling overwhelmed: Calm your nervous system and find a brief, restorative pause, offering a sense of peace even in difficult moments.
- To feel grounded: Gentle exercises that help bring calm and confidence as you move forward at your own pace.
For Refuge Staff (before, during, and after shifts):
- To help you sleep: Drift into restful sleep after a demanding day or find support to get back to sleep.
- To reset: Take a 3-minute pause to centre yourself during your working day
- To unwind: Release stress and ease into relaxation at the end of the day
Whether you’re seeking peace, better sleep, or a moment to pause, Clementine is here to support you, providing a gentle companion for any moment you need it.
