Jane Doe No More

Summer has begun. We will be focusing on childhood sexual abuse. This is a problem that has affected many survivors in our community personally and we want to work to raise awareness and education around prevention! Throughout the month, we will be sharing educational content for everyone on how they can identify signs of abuse, keep children safe, and handle it when a child discloses sexual abuse to them. On the Voice2Change podcast, our host Jocelyn Maminta will be joined by Sue Blasavage to discuss her story of childhood sexual abuse and the effects it has on survivors. We encourage you to follow Jane Doe No More on social media and to share our posts with parents, grandparents, and other members of your community who work with children. The more people are aware of what to look for the sooner we can protect more children! #janedoenomore #johndoenomore #childhoodsexualabuse #childhoodsexualabusesatistics #childhoodsexualabusesurvivor #survivors #parents #parenting #parentsofsurvivors #sexualabuse #sexualassault #sexualabusesurvivor #sexualassaultsurvivor #safety #protectkids #voice2changepodcast #education

Have you listened to May’s Voice2Change podcast? Survivors Speak Outreach Team Member Tracey Blackman joins us to discuss her personal story and rape culture. We discuss rape culture and how it affects survivors of sexual crimes. It can affect whether they are believed and how they are treated. We also discuss ways that you can combat rape culture in your everyday life. We encourage everyone to listen to this essential conversation. We are raised in a society where rape culture is prevalent, and we all have internal biases to face. We hope this podcast will help you start self-reflection so you can begin combating rape culture in yourself and those you love. Together we can make a change for all survivors. Let us know what you think of the podcast by leaving us a 5-star Review! We encourage you to share something you learned from this episode in your review or the comments!

💙 This video if you are or want to be a first responder of any kind! Did you know that being revictimized by a first responder, whether a police officer, EMT, nurse, or other professional, can be more harmful to a survivor than the attack itself? The way we act towards someone who has been a victim of a sexual crime has a profound impact on the victim, the case, and the outcome.  At Jane Doe No More, we’ve developed our Duty Trumps Doubt program to change perspectives through our trauma-informed video and survivor-led presentations specifically designed to help law enforcement, medical personnel, legal professionals and society have a better understanding about the devastating effects sexual crimes have on victims.  This 30-90 minute presentation will cover: 💙 Firsthand survivor stories & experiences 💙 Awareness of the trauma a victim has experienced 💙 Techniques on ways to approach and speak to a victim 💙 The diversity of circumstances and situations in which these crimes occur 💙 The importance of words, body language, and empathy when addressing a victim If you’re interested in having this presentation for your team of first responders, you can learn more and fill out the application here: https://lnkd.in/eY3WTQPi #janedoenomore #johndoenomore #revictimization #dutytrumpsdoubt #firstresponder #firstresponders #lawenforcement #police #policeofficer #detective #emt #nurse #traumanurse #doctor #lawyer #paralegal #socialworkers #evidence #csi #crimescene #truecrime #believevictims #supportsurvivors
