Be Someone’s Loved One 💙 Showing up for a su Be Someone’s Loved One 💙 Showing up for a survivor takes courage, patience and emotional steadiness. And sometimes, the first step is tending to our own emotions, especially anger. Whether you’re a parent, partner, friend or ally, processing your feelings can help you listen with compassion, respond without defensiveness and create the safety your loved one deserves. That’s why Brave Step is offering a Navigating Anger Workshop on January 15, a supportive space to learn skills, understand triggers and practice responding rather than reacting. If you’re ready to take a brave step toward being the steady, grounded support someone needs, we invite you to join us. 👉 Save your spot and invest in your own resilience. https://bravestep.org/navigating-anger/ Because caring for others often starts with caring for ourselves.
This season, choose courage. Choose compassion. Ch This season, choose courage. Choose compassion. Choose prevention. ✨ Join our movement to create a safer, stronger community. BraveStep.org/Changemaker
