🎤 Behind the Brave Whether you are a survivor, 🎤 Behind the Brave Whether you are a survivor, a loved one or an ally, finding and using your voice is one of the bravest acts of all. 💙 It can mean speaking up to ask for help. It can mean standing beside someone in their recovery journey. It can mean raising awareness or challenging harmful norms that allow sexual violence to persist. Using your voice isn’t always easy. It can feel uncomfortable, emotional or even frightening, but it is also life changing. Every time we speak truth, seek support or stand for change, we build a safer and more compassionate world together. 🌍 #BehindTheBrave #BraveStep #OneBraveThing #HealingTogether #PreventionStartsWithUs #SupportSurvivors #UseYourVoice #EndSexualViolence

🔊 Voices of Change: Yauna Some voices for cha 🔊 Voices of Change: Yauna Some voices for change begin with courageously sharing one’s own story. For much of her life, Yauna carried deep shame and sadness from trauma, often feeling isolated in her struggles. Everything began to shift when a trusted therapist encouraged her to explore Brave Step, a space where connection, understanding, and healing thrive. “I was genuinely surprised by the diverse individuals I met — men and women from all backgrounds — united by similar experiences,” she shares. “Participating in the peer-led groups not only helped me feel less alone but also sparked incredible personal growth and healing over the years. I’m grateful for the community and support that have made such a difference in my life.” Today, Yauna is not only an active participant in Brave Step’s programs and activities, but also a peer group leader, helping others find the same hope and connection she once sought. 💙 “I am completely open with my healing, and Brave Step is like family. This journey has brought me so much peace as I live in my truth and accept the positivity from the supporters around me. It feels like a family that understands you more than you ever knew you needed.” Yauna shows us that being a Voice of Change can mean turning pain into purpose, healing into hope and using your story to light the way for others. ✨ How will you use your voice for change? #VoicesOfChange #BraveStepForward #PeerSupport #HealingTogether #ColorItBlue #supportsurvivors
