Sibling Support

I’m very honored to have Amanda share how her life was impacted by her Sister’s Abuse. When sexual abuse takes place in a household by a family member not only does this affect the survivor but the entire family. We were able to speak with Tash in "You are not alone" then in "Conversation with Stan" we spoke about his own trauma and how supporting his wife has had a positive impact on their lives. Now Amanda hopes that by sharing her story it will inspire others to open up and begin their healing journey.

In the hot seat

Over a year ago, I had a conversation with my friend Angie who had great questions to gain an understanding of how sexual trauma has affected me as a mom. Looking back at the time of this conversation to now, I can see how far my family has come and I feel very proud of all that we've overcome.
