In today’s so often divisive times I wanted to find commonalities and solutions we can share.  Sadly, rape,, childhood sexual violence, and incest crosses all economic and racial lines, but the differences is often defined by access to care.

I am fortunate to have friends who work in both urban and rural communities.  To compare access of care I spoke with Special Education teacher and MFT who work in rural Colorado.  
Of the two, each has long generational family ties,  family who were Homesteaders, and are proud of the communities.  

The discussion was amazing, we all shared the same concerns but we learned the major differences was not in violence but unlike urban communities where behavioral health folks often do not look like or share the same cultures of the communities they serve.
