Our High Tea for the Tree House Children’s Advocacy Center was a smashing success! We had a delicious brunch, bubbly, a spot of tea, an exciting silent auction, a performance by Embody Dance Company, a hope-filled update from our Executive Director Jessie Lindberg and an incredible survivor success story told by Shelby Gordon. The room was a sea of royal blue in support of our brave child abuse survivors.
April is Child Abuse Awareness Month. A month where we acknowledge the scope of the issue of child abuse in our very own communities, and commit to doing our part to support survivors and the organizations that provide vital services for them. According to the National Center for Victims of Crime, 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys is a victim of child sexual abuse. The earlier an organization like Turning Point can step in to set the wheels of healing and justice in motion, the greater the outcome for the child, and the less likely their trauma will plague them with lifelong mental, physical and medical effects.
Your support not only helps to provide vital services, but it lets survivors know
that they’re not alone, and healing is possible.
