Things like victim impact statements, press releases, and social media are powerful tools - but do you know how to harness them?

Putting words to your truth can be liberating - but it’s also delicate work and must be done with the survivors' wellness always in mind. 

Writing these statements is intense for most clients. You know it's the right thing. You know it needs to happen.

You know it's going to be ugly. 

It's not uncommon for clients to cry, need to scream it out, step away, self medicate, pace themselves, phone-a-friend or other support person... and none of that will be met with judgment.

 Who better to hold your hand through it than a fellow survivor who has been where you are and poured their souls onto paper as well?

Erica holds this service as particularly sacred, especially when it involves writing statements for children. As such, she only takes on one child survivor at a time in order to give the little one all the time and attention they need to work through the process.

She also requires that the child have supportive mental health services in place as the process of writing statements, although necessary, is difficult and traumatic.
