HUSH No More Celebrates Sexual Assault Awareness Month

A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM THE DESK OF OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR.

I was a little discouraged last month because all of the events that we had planned for Sexual Assault Awareness Month were cancelled. However, I found the motivation to push forward for all of the Sexual Assault and Child Sexual Abuse Survivors who need our support. For this reason, we are still uniting together this April to encourage Survivors to HUSH No More!

During this time of social distancing, social media provides an opportunity for our organization to promote the safety & well being for all, and to show our continued commitment to ending sexual violence. I encourage all of you to push forward during this time of sickness, deaths, and financial hardships and join us as we make noise on social media. We have a lot of fun and informative events planned. We encourage you to participate in one or all events as we raise awareness to Sexual Assault and Child Sexual Abuse.

Remember that you have a right to tell your story and that is not your fault what happened to you. Feel free to contact us at 1-888-285-2161, www.hushnomore.org, or via social media. Sending you Peace & Blessings to you and your family.

One Team-One Fight,

Dr. Vanessa Dunn Guyton
