When we as a society start by believing we can reverse the power of that effect that sexual offenders use, that changes the narrative and shines a spotlight to not only be on the negative pieces of what has happened, but empowers the survivor.
What does it take to support survivors of sexual violence? Gina Bowers, the Rape Crisis Program Manager and Counselor at CommQuest Services, dives into this critical topic. In this episode, Gina discusses her multifaceted role, from hospital and court advocacy to trauma counseling and community education. Her insights into trauma brain and hyper-arousal are eye-opening, emphasizing the need for tailored coping strategies to help survivors manage their daily lives.
The conversation also touches on how crises can exacerbate violence and trauma, and the crucial role that grant funding plays in sustaining these vital programs. If you're looking to understand the complexities of supporting survivors or want to know how you can make a difference, this episode is a must-listen.
