About Thriving Courage

If you’re visiting this site, it’s likely because you or someone you care about, has experienced either sexual abuse or sexual assault trauma. I want you to know that you are not alone in this journey. Thriving courage is a community that understands the weight of trauma all too well because we have lived it first-hand ourselves. We understand the difficulty of moving forward. It’s not easy, and it can feel like the world is unsure how to respond. Loved ones often feel helpless, not knowing the right words or actions. 

Perhaps what happened to you or someone you love is still difficult to talk about right now. There can be fear in sharing your story and wondering if you will ever feel "normal" again or if you'll ever be truly happy.  What happened to you can affected so many aspects of your life - from relationships you have to the decisions you make, how you allow others to treat you, and most importantly, how you treat yourself.

Whether you’re the person who has experienced the trauma or someone who loves them, healing and joy are possible. We are here to tell you that there is hope. It is possible to move beyond the darkness and find light again.

That’s why we created Thriving Courage — to help others find their strength as well - to show that you can not only heal, but you can flourish in ways you might not yet believe are possible right now - and we are here for it!   You can move forward. You WILL move forward. And you CAN thrive!
