Please do not be discouraged by your present challenges and don’t feel abandoned. There is a survival instinct in every living creature. This is how hope stays alive.
An Interview with Title IX Coordinators Megan Fallon (Clemson University) and Melissa Nichols (Furman University)
If you’ve ever questioned the long-term outcomes of prevention education, please allow my story to be a testament to its success. Prevention truly does change lives.
My career as a helping professional is the absolute air I breathe.
Laura started to plant her feet on the ground and grow in empowerment.
The Senate has just unveiled health care legislation that would result in the loss of access and elimination of benefits for millions of people if passed into law.
The feelings I carried after returning to my car were less composed; tears and absolute frustration.
Little did I know at the time how many times I would feel like a super hero when walking alongside the families we serve.
“I didn’t know that I was being abused because my definition of abuse looked different. My husband pushed me, but most of my suffering was verbal and psychological. I left my husband to protect our young daughter. Almost immediately I felt the weight of his oppression begin to lift. I could see a difference in my daughter as well. Then he broke into my home and assaulted me in-front of her.
I sought help and was led to Safe Harbor. My daughter and I are in counseling now. I am sorting out the mess that abuse has caused. I am finding my voice and seeking opportunities to grow and better my life as well as my daughter's. She will gauge her self-worth from my own self-worth. I must show her that she deserves the best, by expecting the best for myself.
Many years I suffered in silence. By telling my story and being honest with friends and family, I am taking control of my life again.”
