Welcome to our new 5 part series called Soul Wounds, a Native American term used to address and historic trauma to the body, mind, and spirit

When we think of a wound it’s a small bump or a small scar on your  body 
But when discussing childhood sexual violence and or rape each time a personis  violated or  called outside their name the initial wound opens us, expanding over time into a festering oozing pus linking into our bloodstream. poisoning our minds with self doubt, driving many to numb their pain and shame by consuming drugs and alcohol.

The 5 episodes include Introduction, Healthcare, Mental Health, Societal (family, communities, and future generations), and Incarnation 

To address means to improve lives and develop methods to support those victimized we break each episode into age groups, why because it allows us to see how we can intervene, the struggles folks endured, and means for individuals and mandatory reporting agencies can become supportive and break their perceptions of folks of color

Hope you enjoy this series

Stay safe and healthy
