"It is essential that justice be done, and it is equally vital that justice not be confused with revenge, for the two are wholly different."
-Oscar Aria

Silence
Every journey is different, but "ultimate healing" is possible. Start your journey today.
One in three women will be sexually abused before the age of 18. One in five men the same. Your abuse may have caused you to question your own spirituality or even blame God himself for your pain.
Learning of a loved one's abuse can bring on a plethera of emotions. These revelations can be overwhelming and may leave you feeling like you are unable to help. You can help a survivor with their own healing process by learning what to do and say as well as what not to do and say.
Healing from abuse is a long and difficult process and is different for every survivor. This is not a wound that can heal on its own, but one that will become more infected every single day until it is faced.
"Survivors in Christ" Support Group (Tyler/East Texas) is a safe comfortable and Christian environment where survivors can listen, learn, share, and pray together. Next Meeting:
Monday, October 19th
