As some of you may know, I am a huge advocate for victims and survivors of domestic violence. I talked about it in my last blog post and now I have started a new Facebook group for victims and survivors of any kind and the people that care about them. Since October is Domestic Violence Awareness month, I thought this would be the perfect time to start. This is a private group, and as such, members are directed to keep everything confidential. My goal is for victims, survivors, and their advocates to share their experiences and knowledge to help each other. Anyone in these categories is welcome: women, men, counselors and crisis counselors, family members, friends, medical and mental health professionals, spiritual advisors, educators, law enforcement, or anyone else that might help or is seeking help. NO ABUSERS. No one will know in which category you fall unless you choose to tell them. If you are in an unhealthy situation, please consider joining us. There is hope! https://www.facebook.com/groups/568280924383401
New Group for Victims and Survivors
Published by patricsch
I'm just me: wife, Mom, Mimi, nurse, and writer. My first book, "The Giggle Box", was published by the now-closed Peak City Publishing in Apex, NC. Inspired by my own family, it is a story about the healing power of laughter and the value of friendship, mixed with a healthy dose of whimsy! My second book, "The Town of Alpaca", has now been published by Outskirts Press. Coming soon: "The Prettiest House on the Block", a memoir for a survivor of Domestic Violence, which will be released in September 2020 by Blue Heron Book Works in Allentown, Pa. Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. is my birthplace but Bethlehem, Pa. is my home town. We moved to NC in 1990 and have lived in Durham, Rocky Mount, Cary, and now Wake Forest. I love God and my family; everything else is secondary. Writing, however, stays close behind the first two! I have been married to my husband since 1974. We have four children and five grandchildren, to date, who are all lights in my life. View all posts by patricsch
