I would like to thank foremost God for all that I am. I would also like to thank my children Skaya, Aaron and Breanna; it is because of you my world's brighter. I would like to say thanks to my mom who taught me how to be a woman of substance, and go after my dream whatever it might be. Thanks, to Ralph and Nel who added to my life by being such a great influence in it; you both added more than you would ever know. Thanks to my siblings who have helped me along my journey in finding my way in this great big world, and it has been with their great support that I learned to flourish beyond my wildest dream. And last all bu not least; I would like to thank my Speech Class Instructor Mrs. Oh's, and if it was not for her there would be no book "Breaking Through the Silence." It was Mrs. Oh's who helped me to break free from my extreme shyness in 2006.

Through the eyes of 20 warriors of sexual assault, you will be transformed into the mindset and universe of a person that has battled for and won their lives back from someone who aimed to take it away from them. Breaking Through the Silence; the Journey to Surviving Sexual Assault is a compilation book of interviews from warriors of from all over the world, as well as 18 professionals and other people that provide a support system, from SANE nurses to Friends, for warriors. The purpose of this book is to allow warriors who still feel isolated and silenced to know that they are never alone, that they never will be alone. By including stories from other warriors, victims can find someone to relate to. They can see their journey, what happened, how they reacted, what they used to cope, and finally, where they are now, and gain insight and hope in maneuvering through their journey to survive. And following the stories, are first-person accounts from professionals in related fields; SANE nurses, Detectives, Prosecutors, Social Workers and more. As well as other means of support; Friends, Advocates, Significant others. These are the people who make up the full support system that many warriors used to help them cope and heal. It is also an easily navigated manual for support systems to utilize when they are helping a survivor. The insight you'll gain from reading this will help understand what the warrior is going through, whether or not they are capable of fully verbalizing it yet. The lessons, insights, mentalities, coping mechanisms, everything your survivor may be experiencing, can be better understood from the voice of someone else who experienced it and coped with it. The events in this book are all very different. No two assaults are the same, ever. However, there are pieces that connect us all to each other. There are similarities, and comfort in the fact that no story is unique. To recognize that is powerful. It unites us all and makes us stronger together. Once we all see the light and realize that there are more people who have been traumatized like this, than people who are assaulting, it will take power from the abusers, and put it in the hands of the warriors. We can and will end this.A prevalent theme throughout this book is advice from warriors. Almost every warrior will tell you that talking about it makes the entire situation easier to conceptualize and heal. Most of us, myself included, began our healing journey the moment we were able to admit it to ourselves and somebody else that we were raped or assaulted. It is so unfortunately common for people to feel ashamed that this has happened to them as if it's our faults, we asked for it, or we deserved it. But that is COMPLETELY untrue. This happened TO us. WE didn't make the choice, in fact, we didn't have a choice. The people who abuse us deserve to feel the way we feel. We deserve the platform & strength to be supported and speak out about what happened to us without backlash, disbelief, and shame. This book is our call to action. There are more than 1 in 4 women and girls, and 1 in 6 men and boys that are sexually assaulted every year. Those numbers are inferred from the number of cases that are reported every year and produced by the CDC. As you'll see through the content in this book, those numbers are significantly lower than the real number of assaults per year. Only about 5% of assaults are reported. The world is changing. Our voices are beginning to be heard, but it is just starting. Let's teach society how life-changing it is to be raped and assaulted by telling our stories. We need to be the change and speak up. At the end of the day, everybody knows somebody who has endured some type of sexual assault, whether you know it or not. Understanding that sexual assault changes the person you are, may deter a support network from turning their back on a survivor because of the way they are handling their assault.

Men are Survivors, too! Sexual assault is not strictly a female problem; one in six men are sexually assaulted in their lifetime, based on current reporting statistics. By that measure, 628,000,000 men will be assaulted in their lifetime. That number is jarring, and yet, most people still don't recognize this as a problem. The #MeToo movement is a phenomenal, eye-opening movement for warriors, but leaned mainly female. Many men felt left out of the #MeToo movement, and had created more of a divide in the survivor community than anticipated. And the limited number of resources available for men also leaves them in the dark to deal with their trauma. For those reasons, the number of men coming forward was unchanged - and remains the lowest reported crime. Unsupported by their community, many men felt even more isolated than before. Following stories of sexual assault in the eyes of twenty seven male survivors, we see the years of abuse, hardship, isolation, coping and finally, healing they've endured throughout their lives. Each in their own quest to find support, validation and resources to help start their healing journey's. From the voices of the storytellers are the heart-wrenching, experiences they've faced, and how each of them have overcome their trauma, rewrote their story, and found their strength. Through their eyes, you can see how drastically their lives changed following their abuse, and how they've triumphed and won their lives back by taking control of their body, mind, spirit and lives. Breaking Through the Silence; #Me(n)Too takes an introspective look at a society shaped by gender roles, self-expression and "masculinity" vs. "Femininity," and how that negatively impacts 628,000,000 people. Every warrior has a voice, and we want to inspire and encourage each warrior to feel compelled to begin their healing journey's as well. By finding and raising their voices to the atrocities that are happening to all genders, we can finally begin to heal as a community, and empower silenced survivors to find their individual voices as well. We want to raise awareness that this can happen to anyone, regardless of gender, age, heritage, socioeconomic status, religion, etc. Abuse does not discriminate. It can effect anyone. The warrior community is ready to welcome, empower, advocate for, and validate male survivors. It's our turn to listen. Male survivors face significantly more backlash, disbelief, and retaliation than any other warrior demographic. They receive significantly less support and have minimal resources to use, in addition to being societally conditioned to believe that they are not allowed to express sadness or emotions, without seeming effeminate. The tales in the book are all different. Although no two experiences will ever be exactly the same, there is comfort in the fact that someone can always relate to your experience. Finding a relatable story is very powerful. You'll recognize that there are millions of people to whom you can confide in, and will understand exactly how you feel. It unites us all and makes us stronger together. Once we realize that there are more people who have been traumatized like this, than people who are assaulting, it will take power from the abusers, and put it in the hands of the warriors.In that regard, some of these stories might be triggering. So, I urge you to take your time reading through this. And if you feel triggered or negatively effected, to self-care.

The second edition of this bestselling book is designed for mental health professionals, educators, and the parent/caregiver, this book provides specific ideas and techniques to work with children in various areas of complicated grief. It presents words and methods to help initiate discussions of these delicate topics, as well as tools to help children understand and separate complicated grief into parts. These parts in turn can be grieved for and released one at a time. A new chapter is included, called "Communities Grieve: Involvement with Children and Trauma." It includes information on The Taiwan Earthquake and how the community worked with children, a school bus accident in which 36 elementary school children witnessed the death of the bus driver that was driving and how the school system worked with these children and their families; a boy who was running on a cross country team and got hit by a car, which was witnessed by teammates; and how a non-profit community grief agency worked with family, school, and community. The last study is from the Oklahoma bombing and the outgrowth of a place for the traumatized children and how they still work with kids and family today. This chapter then contains new activities to work with traumatized grieving children. The new edition also includes updated resources, books, curriculums, websites, hotlines and another new chapter on bullying and victimization issues. The chapter for educators has been expanded, including the coverage of topics such as at-risk students, gay and lesbian issues, and self-injurious behaviors.

Edited by former political prisoner Putu Oka Sukanta, this is a collection of accounts from people around the Indonesian archipelago who experienced the violence of 1965-1966. Fifteen witnesses - from the regions of Medan, Palu, Kendari, Yogyakarta, Jakarta, Bali, Kupang, and Sabu Island - share their stories of how they navigated this horrifying period of Indonesian history and how they have lived with this past. The book is based on life history interviews with ordinary people - teachers, artists, women's activists, and policemen - whose lives were turned upside down when atrocious attacks and heinous killings occurred against those who were considered to be supporters of the Indonesian Communist Party. These accounts - including one from a perpetrator who is now tormented by guilt, and from survivors who still feel isolated and rejected by society - show how the violence continues to influence Indonesian society. The book will be a valuable resource for students of history, of Indonesia, and for people wanting to understand the impact of this shocking violence. (Series: Herb Feith Translation)

Children of violence need to be heard. Unable or unwilling to verbalize their suffering, abused children are often immobilized by fear, rage, guilt, and pain. In the second edition of Breaking the Silence: Art Therapy with Children from Violent Homes , Cathy Malchiodi demonstrates the unique power of art therapy as a tool for intervening with children from violent backgrounds. In this new edition, she describes the intervention process from intake to termination, noting the complex issues involved at various levels of evaluation and interpretation. Bringing her years of experience in working at battered women's shelters to bear on the subject, Ms. Malchiodi brings the language of art therapy to life--a language of art that gives children a voice and those who work with them, a way of listening. The emphasis here is on the short-term setting where time is at a premium and circumstances are unpredictable. It is within this setting that mental health practitioners often experience frustration and a sense of helplessness in their work with the youngest victims of abusive families. Since the first edition of this book was published, research has led to some new ideas related to sexual abuse. The author analyzes several issues concerning the treatment of sexually abused children and art expressions of sexually abused children. In addition, Ms. Malchiodi launches a discussion about the ethical issues in the use of children's art as a whole. Featured throughout the book are 95 drawings by abused children. These drawings are at once poignant and hopeful, clearly representing the extraordinary suffering that abused children experience at, at the same time, showing that they can be reached. Because the practice of art therapy methods has been integrated into many disciplines, the final chapter covers development of art therapy programs for children. The author shares information on art supplied, space, and storage ideas. For art therapists, social workers, and other practitioners who work with children in crisis, this book presents a practical methodology for intervention that fosters the compassion and insight necessary to reveal what words cannot.
