“The hotline gave me hope again for a better life and I'm going to start today. It's funny what one conversation can do when I've not been able to tell anyone.” We have #5MillionReasons why we answer the call. #IPV #DV #Survivor

If you suffer from #PTSD, there are some ways to help minimize the effects: Accept that your feelings are valid. Be kind to yourself. You’re doing your best. Practice self-care. You are worth it. Seek additional help when you need it. #TraumaAwarenessMonth #Trauma

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month & we must all stand together to teach our society that no means no. It is not consent if you make someone afraid to say no. Their clothing does not mean their consent. Alcohol is not an excuse. And if it is not clear, it does not mean yes.

Victims are not to blame, they are not at fault, and too many times people point their fingers at the victims instead of the abuser. Instead of asking “why do they stay?” we need to be asking “why are they abusing?” Thank you Mentor High School for having us♥️
