"Do not internalize the abuse, because that will make it seem that the abuse is happening all over again." - Adam, survivor
Current events inspired this post, but they have personal meanings. As parents and caregivers, the thought of our children being hurt in these ways is unbearable. But no matter how painful it is, you are their safe place, and it's up to you to clarify the situation in a way they understand. You must be their first advocate and get them the help they deserve. Contacting RAINN at rainn.org is the first step.
Let's encourage parents to support survivors. #WontStayQuiet
Parents and caregivers play a crucial role in the recovery process. They provide a foundation of support, showing the young person they are not alone and fostering their self-worth as they move through a challenging time. They also serve as critical role models, demonstrating to young people how valued they are by those around them. I would like to tell all young people that it is not their fault, no matter how confused they are about the situation or what happened. Parents and caregivers can help young people feel less alone and nurture their self-esteem during challenging times.
