How Maryanne’s Story Became Her Strength
The weight of my community’s silence was heavy.

TRAUMA INFORMED CARE—not just a buzzword
Sexual violence doesn’t just leave physical scars, it can have a deep and lasting impact on a survivor’s mental health. Without understanding the devastating effects of trauma, we may unintentionally cause more harm.
