Humansave

Resuming Humansave ‘s free monthly zoom workshops about HT on Wednesday Feb 19 from 11-12pm PST. In this series, I go in-depth about specific subtopics such as the role of parents in the fight against HT, how to build resilience to protect yourself and loved ones, why victims and survivors don’t “just leave”, the intersection between HT and other social issues, and more. This particular workshop will focus on a general overview of HT, as I haven’t done this since July. Even if you attended previously, this session will be different as it is interactive and the discussion will include new perspectives from other attendees, and the workshop itself will be updated with current news and events.

I’m honored to share that I am a Volunteer with Humansave. They serve survivors of human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. Humansave's therapists guide their clients on a healing journey, helping them process trauma and move toward genuine freedom. https://lnkd.in/gAyxGGfd

??NINETEEN new referrals for Humansave ‘s Transcending Trauma Therapy program in less than a week ?? As the only anti-trafficking mental health nonprofit in our area of operation, we are scrambling to meet the growing demands for support. It is an honor to receive referrals from agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security and Volunteers of America—but even more so to receive them from Survivor Leaders from organizations such as GEMS UNCOVERED INC, Treasures, and Survivor Mentality Foundation. To be entrusted by survivors to help their clients is something we don’t take lightly. To help us provide therapy to these 19 brave individuals ready to slay the demons of their past that bleed into their every day lives, head over to Humansave.org/19survivors Your tax deductible gift will help survivors rewrite their stories to ones of hope & true freedom—freedom from recurring nightmares, anxiety, suicidality and hopelessness, flashbacks, feelings of worthlessness and more.

Join me on Wednesday Oct 16 from 11-12pm for the next installment of Humansave ‘s monthly Community Worksho Series. This month’s conversation will be centered on the P Diddy case, the impact of cases like these on victims and survivors, and how HT continues to hide in plain sight. Feel free to enjoy your lunch during this workshop :) As usual, the goal is to go deeper than what you can Google, and share insights and tips that will help you keep yourself and loved ones safer.

Happy World Mental Health Day!!! I’m fundraising because FIFTEEN survivors were referred to Humansave TODAY for our life-saving therapy services!!! Larger orgs than ours don’t get that many referrals for therapy in one MONTH. We’ve secured funding for one survivor through a partner agency, but we need your support to crowdfund the rest. Most of us know the impacts of trauma on our everyday lives—terms like “emotional damage” have even made it to mainstream media. But how often do we consider how debilitating it can be to live with the aftermath of being exploited? Do we ever make the connection between: -sleepless nights -flashbacks -panic attacks -hopelessness And: -suicidality -chronic illness (related to the constant release of adrenaline due to fear) -housing instability -job instability -difficulty building healthy relationships? Whether you can give $5 (less than a cup of coffee!) or $5k, healing is a gift with an impact that can be felt across GENERATIONS. Your support will help survivors rewrite their stories, and it will make the world a better, safer place. Please give if you can, and share this message. Link is in the comments ??
