Do Your Part - Awareness & Activism
One of the best things
that you can do as a survivor of violence or a secondary survivor (loved one of a survivor) is to spread awareness and/or become active in a related cause. As a survivor you have a
unique point of view that needs to be heard. Doing your part to end violence and help victims of it can also be a very healing experience. I urge you to take a look at the following
sites below and begin to be an active member in stopping violence. Together we can make a difference in someone's life.
