December 2022

Because It Is Not Always a Happy Holiday...

When I think of the holidays, I tend to focus on the positives: fun with family, festive baking, parties, presents, time off from work, cooler weather (lol as it is 80* outside). I also associate the holidays with tons of fond memories I have made with my husband, Steve, and our son, Corey. However, many in our community are feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and/or blue. If you are struggling right now, I want to say it is perfectly normal to feel this way and that you are not alone.

Returning for Support

Chloe was anxious and overwhelmed the first time she came to the Crisis Center for an exam following a sexual assault. Through working with the advocate that greeted her at the door, she felt comfortable enough to open up about the details of the assault as well as the fact that she was living out of her car. The advocate provided Chloe extra toiletries, clothes, and blankets to ensure she was comfortable at a shelter.

Give Back to the Crisis Center

If you're looking to make a donation to the Crisis Center for tax purposes, make sure to send it in before 12/31/22. We are also in need of some items for our service areas, specifically iPad covers for completing assessments with counseling clients and blankets to be provided to sexual assault survivors during exams. Click through below to make a donation or purchase an item off of our Amazon Wish List today.
