I Survived Abuse.
Now I'm Healing.
I am on a healing journey, and writing my story has given me the courage to share it with others — to help my own healing, and to help prevent sexual abuse from happening to someone else.
Providing resources, and keeping others safe.
I hope that by sharing my story and resources, others can get the help they need — or avoid abuse happening to them in the first place.
See the ResourcesI've had lots of support on my journey.
It's hard to go through abuse alone. Often the very people you trust the most are the ones who hurt you, or the ones who won't believe your story. The organizations below have been there for me, and made it possible for me to tell my story. Your community will likely have similar resources.
