Survivor Love Letter 🖤
If everything feels like it’s closing in: find your center. Breathe. Keep going. You’re not alone.

For SIECUS Week of Action, we’re backing the kind of s*x ed that teaches consent, boundaries, and how to get help before harm happens.

Now your turn: write your own Survivor Love Letter (to yourself, to someone you love, to the version of you that needed it most)🩵

Many of us struggle during the winter ❄️months due to shorter days and longer nights. Winter can cause your mood to flucuate or your motivation to 😟dwindle. Read the article below from the Mayo Clinic about the signs & symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and how you can manage the symptoms.

➡️With motivation dwindling, and snow often on the ground, we are grateful for our outreach 😀 therapists, funded in-part by, Winnebago County Community Mental Health Board, that provide services to area schools so students can receive free quality therapy services. It is especially important during these winter months that students can be reached and with the help of the , RSAC outreach therapists can ensure students can be provided services.

These are great winter-time coping ☀️ strategies for everyone, not just those who suffer with SAD.

January is National Human Trafficking Awareness Month. Throughout the month of January, we will be raising awareness surrounding human trafficking, particularly s*x trafficking. We will be discussing what human trafficking is and what it looks like in order to break down many of the myths we've been taught about human trafficking.

If you or someone you know is a victim of human trafficking, the National Human Trafficking Hotline is here to provide the support you need.
