DCRCC and Me

Ok so I finished my training to become a counselor. I must say It turned out to be more like a therapy and healing process for myself and many others. I know that God laid it on my heart to be there for others in there time of need and I guess this is my way of paying it forward. I remember in my times of need the countless people who were there for me as well as others in the same situation. I remember when I felt very alone, confused and scared and not knowing what resources I had. The thing that gets me the most about this training is that all the women there were incredible in there own way. There was no cat fights or dirty looks, we knew training was a place of safe space. You were free to vent, cry and ask plenty of questions.

Sexual violence is not a welcome act and I really wish more men and young men could go through this training. I know It would provide them with tools on how to deal with these situations that target mainly women and children but don't exclude them either. Men can be and are targeted but a larger percent are women and children. I was very happy to sit for a session with the representatives of "Men Can Stop Rape". I really believe that this organization is a wonderful place for men to learn about sexual violence.

I can say I made some pretty amazing friends @ DCRCC and I know that my calling is to be of some assistance for the littlest survivors. I pray that God give me the strength and guidance to get through my term of service and that I will be able to pass on some of the love and compassion I received when I was going through.
