Dear Friend, Recently we shared special moments and highlights from our Champions of Healing Launch Celebration, as well as more about the online educational series of the same name and how it came about. Although 1 in 5 adults have experienced sexual abuse in our culture—most have never talked about it or gotten the support they need to heal. Stigma has been high and awareness has been low—leaving most adult survivors to wrongly believe they are alone in their experiences. Additionally, due to widespread cultural denial, minimization and even victim-blaming, too many friends, allies and professionals in our culture haven’t had the tools they need to lean in to support survivors, either. That's why to us, Champions of Healing™ is more than an online learning series; it’s a movement—for every survivor, ally, and professional to take part in shaping a world where healing is possible for all. There truly is a place for everyone in this movement. The more we speak openly about the realities of CSA and its impacts on adult survivors, challenge stigma, and build collective compassion, healing and power—the closer we come to a future where every person impacted by CSA trauma can live their fullest, healthiest life. |
