Happy Pride Month!

 

Incest AWARE stands in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community to dismantle homophobia and stand up for equality and respect around the globe. 

 

LGBTQ+ folks experience much higher rates of sexual assault compared to heterosexuals. Much more needs to be done to prevent incest and support survivors and their families to ensure those who identify as LGBTQ+ are safe. 

 

Join us in celebrating Pride Month and giving space to the experiences and accomplishments of LGBTQ+ survivors in our community! 

Incest AWARE OutSPOKEN Series

 

Incest AWARE has launched our OutSPOKEN Series, a monthly event featuring incest survivor-advocates with expertise in this field. Our first conversation is with a truly remarkable activist.

 

If you are an emerging advocate, you don't want to miss joining Pennie Saum as she shares her journey from survivor to organization founder, podcaster, Ted Talk-er, and so much more. She will share strategies and tools she used to prepare herself for leadership and growth along her personal journey. Register at the button below.

 

Save the date for OutSPOKEN guest Brad Watts, an expert on sibling sexual abuse, who will join us on August 11. Stay tuned for more details.
