Recovering from sexual trauma while navigating rac Recovering from sexual trauma while navigating racism, discrimination or cultural expectations is no small feat. It takes extraordinary courage to seek mental health support when your full identity isn’t always seen or understood.

🧠 Quote: “We don’t heal in isolation. We heal in community. But what if our community doesn’t believe us?” – Survivor, Latina, age 32

To those showing up for themselves despite the weight of it all: we see you. Your growth matters. You matter.

🧡 This Minority Mental Health Month, we amplify voices often overlooked in conversations about trauma and wellbeing.

Bravery looks different for everyone. For some, it’s speaking up, not just for themselves, but for every survivor who’s still finding their voice.

🗣️ This is what it means to be Behind the Brave: To use your story, your strength, your love... To say: “You’re not alone. I see you. I’m with you.”

To every person raising their voice in solidarity, thank you. You are helping shift silence into hope.

💙 Let’s keep showing up, together.
