April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month! 💚💚Transparency Moment ✨ My dream of being a professional dancer quickly died when my mother started prostituting me for drugs. Anything that was attached to her, I removed myself from it. Not knowing then, I would soon find out how healing and therapeutic it is for me to slowly get back to my first true passion. I allow what energies I attach to certain things. I am in control of what consumes me. And I choose healing 💜 Please be delicate to those around you during this time because you never know who’s going through a tough time processing this month along with #covid

I boldly and proudly stand with @senatormuth and @sentimkearney in support of SB540. SB540 eliminates the criminal and civil statute of limitations (SOL) for sexual abuse, assault and misconduct for offenses against victims whose abuse happened at any age and provides a 2 year civil window to revive previously expired SOL claims. Victims and survivors of all ages NEED and DESERVE to be protected by the law. SB540 provides a pathway to both healing and justice for ALL survivors

Stress Awareness Month is an annual designation observed in April. Have you ever been in a situation that was a little (or a lot) overwhelming, you had deadlines approaching and a mile-long to do list, and you were just in way over your head?! Well, you’re definitely not alone. Everyone feels stressed from time to time, especially as we get older and the responsibilities really pile onto our plate. The thing about stress is, a little bit of it isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but too much of it can be detrimental to our emotional and physical health. Learning to find that healthy balance is the best way to live a productive, happy life.
.
.
.
A small amount of stress once in a while is a good thing, because it means you’re working hard and you care about what you’re doing. If you were never stressed, that would probably mean you’re living a lethargic lifestyle without a whole lot of work involved. However, too much stress doesn’t allow us to think straight, and is overbearing and counterproductive. Prolonged stress even leads to real physical problems and can cause strokes, IBS, ulcers, diabetes, muscle and joint pain, miscarriages, and many more.
.
.
.
Here are some great ways to keep your mind clear and de-stress if you find yourself getting too overwhelmed.
*Exercise. *Think about taking natural supplements to help you feel more at ease. Natural remedies like lemon balm, omega-3 fatty acids, ashwagandha, green tea, and essential oils are very helpful.
*Light a candle or turn on the oil diffusers, put on some soft, soothing music and dim the lights. Take a deep breath and count your blessings.
*Caffeine intake reduction can help (even though it’s tough to kick the coffee!) because caffeine tends to make us jittery, which can cause stress and anxiety.
*Spend time with family and friends.

Temple University’s Liacouras Center will become overflow hospital space if needed during the coronavirus crisis, Mayor Jim Kenney announced Friday.
.
.
. “Materials and supplies will be moving into the Liacouras Center over the next few days," Kenney said. “I sincerely hope we never have to use the supplies or this space, but we will be ready if we do.”

Let’s go back to 2019’s NCVRW. We had an amazing male panel discussion at Vaux Big Picture High School. This picture speaks volume! Officer Curtis Ghee always has a place in his heart as he connects himself to the youth in Philadelphia. Building connections that last forever! That is what it is all about.

This month our focus is on erasing stigma, providing education, and giving support and hope to those who struggle with self-harm/self-injury.
MYTHS about people who self harm include:
Only adolescents self-injure
Self injury is just a cry for attention
People who self-injure have a severe mental illness
Males do not self injure
Self injury is a failed suicide attempt
FACTS: Each year 1 in 5 females and 1 in 7 males engage in self injury. 90% of adults who self injure began during their teen or preteen years. Many of those who self injure report learning how to do so from friends, websites, and social media pages which are pro self injury.
.
.
.

WHAT CAN YOU DO? Accept the person even if you disagree with the behavior. Remain calm and caring. Listen with compassion. Avoid panic or overreaction. Know that this represents a way of dealing with emotional pain. Do not show shock or revulsion at what they have done. Do not use threats in an attempt to stop the behavior. Do not ask the person to recount the self injury experience in detail, as this may trigger another session.

We have some exciting news from Women on the Rise. In honor of Women’s Month, we were asked to host a 2-part workshop series called “ Discover Yourself In Nature: “A Natural Woman” in partnership with The Discovery Center and Net CUA 7. The workshops CDVS will be hosting at The Discovery Center are listed below with descriptions and the date: *Deeply Rooted
Friday March 20th, 2020 5pm-7pm

This workshop is for all women with any hairstyle or texture. Most of us have our own hair journey that is often impacted by our pain, joy, and health as well as culture & societal exceptions. This workshop will explore some of those stories and unpack how we believe our hair reflects how we see ourselves. Most importantly, participants will gain healthy useful hair tips and tools on natural products to use on our hair. Hair is a part of our self-care and healing journey. *Loving My True Unique Self
Friday March 27th, 2020 5pm-7pm

Many women focus on the things they dislike about themselves, especially if they become overwhelmed with the way society / social media depicts how the “Everyday Woman” is supposed to look. This constantly leaves women left to question many things about their inner and outer appearance,/ beauty, which normally results in negative feelings and emotions in that moment as well as their ongoing thoughts. This workshop is for all women looking to create a visual of their individual beauty reflecting on all the things they absolutely LOVE about themselves.
