Abuse changes how survivors see themselves. It can distort self-perception, making it hard to recognize their own strength and worth. Let’s join together to support survivors in reclaiming their narratives and embracing their true selves. 💪❤️

If you or someone you know is struggling, remember: you are not alone. There is help available, and healing is possible.

Today we gathered at the Claiborne County Courthouse to join the community in prayer and recognize the historic adoption of House Joint Resolution 0051. Tennessee’s HJR0051 officially designates the month of July to voluntary prayer and fasting statewide for those who are spiritually inclined and physically able to do so. It was an honor to stand alongside leaders in our community and take part in praying over Claiborne County.

A reminder during PTSD Awareness Month.

Many survivors of intimate partner violence experience Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder after leaving a violent relationship, and the process of healing and coping with the symptoms of PTSD can take several years, or even a lifetime. Take your time, and be kind to yourself.

If you or someone you know needs this reminder, please share!

P.S. Survivors of abuse in Philly - if you’re searching for counseling resources in our neighborhood, look in the comments 👀
