Joining us in the studio are Thrive Survivor Support Center board members Emily and Rebecca to remind us about this year's Walk-a-Mile event. Not only is it a really fun downtown Concord event, it provides vital funding in support of Thrive's mission. This year’s theme, Walk with Us, is a call to stand together in solidarity, compassion, and commitment to a safer world. We walk to raise awareness of domestic, sexual, and gender-based violence—and this year, the need is greater than ever. With funding cuts and rising demand for services, every step you take helps ensure survivors are seen, heard, and supported.Check out the full interview and then make sure to sign up at https://thrivenh.org/
