I am a board member for FEAR Project and we recently were approved as a non-profit on www.GoodSearch.com a search engine that gives donations for each search conducted via its site. Go to www.GoodSearch.com and you can pull up FEAR Project on the drop down menu for the non-profit you want to support, then every time you do a search they’ll donate to our cause! You’re going to search for things online anyway so why not make it a positive thing all the way around by including a donation to a fantastic organization!?!?
If you don’t know much about FEAR Project yet, read on…
Our mission at the FEAR Project is “to reduce the prevalence of sexual violence and its affects in communities through the use of personal narrative and multimedia.”
What this means, in a less clinical, more heart-felt sense is that we tell stories about sexual trauma people can relate to and understand. By listening, the vocabulary and concepts necessary to identifying and coping with our emotional responses to trauma will become more apparent. The details to the stories are unique, but the traumatic response is the same; understanding communities are essential to empathy and victim support.
Healing starts with talking.
Thanks for considering us!
