🎙️ The Conversation Continues Thank you to @ 🎙️ The Conversation Continues

Thank you to @charlottetalks with Mike Collins for hosting an important conversation about sexual violence, responsible dialogue and the role our community plays in prevention and support.

If you missed the live broadcast or want to listen again the recording is now available.

🎧 Take a moment to listen, reflect, and learn how conversations like these help strengthen awareness and support survivors. https://www.wfae.org/show/charlotte-talks-with-mike-collins/2026-04-05/responsibly-covering-and-discussing-sexual-violence

After listening, here are three ways you can take action:

💙 Listen, believe, support survivors
When someone shares their story, believing them is one of the most powerful acts of support.

💙 Become an ally
Step into the space to bravely support survivors and help create safer, more compassionate communities.

💙 Give to support recovery and prevention
Your donation helps make survivor services and prevention education possible. Link in bio to donate

Because awareness leads to action and action leads to change.

Education Is Prevention: Understanding Triggers H Education Is Prevention: Understanding Triggers

Have you ever noticed someone suddenly become overwhelmed, withdrawn or reactive and wondered why?

For many survivors, triggers can bring up strong emotional or physical reactions that may not make sense to others in the moment. But these responses are not weakness ; they are the brain’s way of trying to protect.

Understanding what triggers are and how they show up helps us respond with greater empathy, patience and care.

💙 Swipe to learn more.
👉 Tomorrow, we’ll share how to respond when triggers happen, whether for yourself or someone you care about.
