🌟 Supporting a survivor of sexual assault? Here's some guidance. 🌟 It's natural to want to be everything for them, but juggling roles of advocate, counselor, and guide can feel overwhelming. Remember, your primary role is to be a trusted friend or family support. Offer empathy and understanding, and guide them towards professional help when needed. In Colorado, survivors have access to confidential advocacy programs offering various services from emotional support to legal assistance. Check out our resource map for nearby support centers and 24/7 helplines.

⭐ Why do we need Child Advocacy Centers? ⭐ CACs are how communities mount a coordinated response to allegations of child abuse. To understand what a CAC is, you must understand what children face without one. Without a CAC, a child may end up having to tell the worst story of his or her life over and over again, to doctors, police, lawyers, therapists, investigators, judges, and others. They may not get the help they need to heal once the investigation is over, either. Read our community report to learn more about why CAC’s are so important: https://lnkd.in/gKcqKxZt. #TraverseBayCAC #AllChildrenSafeandThriving #CommunityReport

In collaboration with our community partners, we will be heading to Olympia to support our system-impacted families and friends by using our collective power to change the justice system.

I recently wrote an article on the urgent housing crisis in Hamilton, focusing on its disproportionate impact on women, gender diverse folks and those receiving social assistance. My analysis delves into how we, through legal advocacy and a united community effort, can begin to address and transform these challenges into opportunities for positive change. This isn't just about statistics; it's about real people in our community facing daily struggles for basic necessities. It's a call to action for everyone who believes in the power of legal rights and community support to create a fairer, more inclusive society. Your thoughts and actions can make a significant impact. Let’s discuss how we can contribute to meaningful change. #HousingJustice #SocialAdvocacy #CommunitySupport #genderequality
