Lean in and Learn 💡 New research confirms what Lean in and Learn 💡 New research confirms what we’ve long seen in our work: The impact of childhood adversity, including sexual violence, can ripple through generations. A new longitudinal study published in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry reveals that when a mother experiences adversity as a child, it can significantly influence her children’s emotional, behavioral and cognitive development. These early traumas don’t stay in the past. They shape maternal mental health, relationships, caregiving and even socioeconomic stability. This is why receiving help and support matters. For survivors. For families. For future generations. 🌀 Sexual violence has long-term effects that extend beyond the survivor and prevention and support must reflect that truth. https://www.psypost.org/mothers-childhood-trauma-linked-to-emotional-and-behavioral-issues-in-her-children-study-finds/ #LeanInAndLearn #TraumaRecovery #BreakingTheCycle #BraveStep #ChildDevelopment #SexualViolenceAwareness

Reflecting on Brave Step’s journey, Janet shared why the Changemaker program matters so deeply. Her words remind us that this 10-year milestone isn’t just about what we’ve done, it’s about what we’ll do next. Thank you, Janet, for being a voice of compassion, conviction and change. 💙 #ToastTo10 #BraveStepTurns10 #Changemaker #SurvivorAdvocacy #BraveVoices #HealingInAction #BraveStep #WeStillHaveWorkToDo
Behind the Brave 💙 | “For others like me.” Behind the Brave 💙 | “For others like me.” These four words say everything. Every program we build, every story we hold, every step forward, it’s all for the ones who know the weight of silence, the strength it takes to grow and the courage it takes to say, “Me too.” Our team, our volunteers, our survivors - they show up every day for others like them. And that’s what makes this work powerful. 💬 Stay with us as we share the faces, voices and hearts behind Brave Step ... because this mission is personal. #BehindTheBrave #ForOthersLikeMe #BraveStep #SurvivorSupport #WhyWeDoThis #HealingTogether #TraumaInformedCare
