Very excited to pass along the knowledge to youth especially! Wish I had this information growing up.
I think that a lot of people working in it day-to-day thought that no one really cares about this. But when Harmony was being talked about and hearing people say ‘oh, yeah, that is a really important issue’ – and even though they may have thought it, now they were saying it. In the past I think there were lots of things not done because of the perception that no one would react positively to talking about violence. And I don’t think that was necessarily true and this project proved it.
Just being able to communicate with one another and being able to look at the needs.... Building professional relationships with [other CCRT members] – I’m more comfortable picking up the phone to connect and talk through stuff. And just looking at the individual as a whole.
I liked that you’re telling people how to deal with it (abuse) and prevent it, because it happens a lot.
