Uplift- Online Communities Against Sexual Violence

Published on Oct 7, 2015

CALL TO ACTION: For this week’s call to action, we want you to think about why it’s harder for men to come forward after a sexual assault or abuse. What can we do as a community to make it easier for men to get the support that they need? Share your answers in the comments down below or on social media with the hashtag #EngageUplift.

Memoir of a Counselor’s Recovery

A Long Journey to Joy: A Memoir of a Counselor’s Recovery, by Yonah Klem, Ed.D. (2009)

A victim of childhood sexual abuse, she mistakenly believed her version of reality was the Ultimate one. After decades of therapy and study of Jewish mysticism, she finally cast off the heavy cloak of shameful misconceptions, and relaxed into ordinary life.

A Long Journey to Joy provides a unique perspective on how to find joy despite a harrowing beginning. It is a “must read” for everyone in recovery and for the psychotherapists who guide them. (description loosely from Amazon.com)
