A Fantastic Music Video from a Strong, Triumphant Survivor
September 17, 2008 02:01 PM PDT
A very strong and courageous survivor created this great music video with the song "Fighter" by Christina Aguilera. This is just another example of why survivors are truly everyday heroes. We are stronger, not weaker. You did not get the best of us, you never will. The video says it all. Thanks for creating it and for sharing it with everyone! Finding hope by hearing the experiences & seeing the faces of other survivors!September 09, 2008 01:29 PM PDT
Our first Podcast will introduce you to some of the basics of our purpose here. I have to smile though because I have the privilege to meet and work with many brilliant people while volunteering to help others. In doing so, we tend to brainstorm and things develop into more interesting and courageous pathways than originally anticipated. Essentially, we will be talking with survivors of sexual assault and abuse and how they survived. Some will be posting their photos. Our goal is to bring the faces and voices of survivors to those who are also survivors but have not found help yet. We hope this will help encourage you to talk to someone and find support during this time.

Podcast SummaryWe provide a new insight into helping survivors of sexual assault, sexual abuse and abuse of any kind for people of all ages. This podcast is created by other survivors with an effective perspective and view on enduring such horrific experiences. About BeccaI am a speaker for RAINN, a wonderful non-profit organization. "RAINN provides support for sexual assault victims and their loved ones through two hotlines at 800.656.HOPE and online.rainn.org. Whether you are more comfortable on the telephone or online, RAINN has services that can guide you in your recovery." As an active member of the RAINN Speaker's Bureau, it has been my honor to get to know dozens of other RAINN Speakers as well as several of those who work at RAINN. "The RAINN Speakers Bureau educates and informs the public about sexual violence. Members will have the opportunity to share their personal stories with students, communities, victim service groups and/or the media. We know that it’s difficult to share something so personal, but we believe that your survival story can inspire others who may be victims of sexual assault to come forward for the first time and receive the help they need. In the process, we hope the experience will benefit you, as well, by sharing the struggle you went through to overcome what happened." I realized that these were not only strong survivors of some of the most horrific acts that could be imagined; these survivors are truly strong, everyday heroes. They were being overlooked and not counted as heroes. They survived trauma that most will never encounter nor will most people ever think about the true impact of such horrible consequences upon a survivor's life and the lives of those that they know. Please note, however, that we are not qualified to provide online counseling. If you have been sexually assaulted and are seeking help or support, please call RAINN the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network toll free at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673). They are on call 24 hours a day to provide confidential support to survivors. If you feel you are in immediate danger please call 911. Fans of this ShowFavorite LinksBecca's Friends
