WHAT IS SEXUAL ASSAULT?
Sexual assault refers to sexual behavior that occurs without the clear consent of the victim. According to the Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network (RAINN), this includes:

* Attempted rape;
* Fondling or unwanted sexual touching;
* Forcing a victim to perform sexual acts, such as oral sex or penetrating the perpetrator's body; and
* Penetration of the victim's body (rape)

It's important to note that force does not just mean physical force, but includes manipulation, coercion, threats, and situations where a person is unable to give consent.
♢ Sexual violence is never the victim's fault.

How common is sexual assault?
☆1 in 6 women and 1 in 33 men report experiencing an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime.

How does sexual assault impact mental health?
Sexual assault can have a variety of short- and long-term effects on a victim's mental health. Many survivors report flashbacks of their assault, and feelings of shame, isolation, shock, confusion, and guilt. People who were victims of rape or sexual assault are at an increased risk for developing:
• Depression
• PTSD
• Substance Use Disorders
• Eating Disorders
• Anxiety
Having a previous history of being a victim and negative reactions from family, friends, and professionals worsen the impact of sexual violence on mental health.
Because sexual trauma can have such a serious impact on mental health, it's important that services and supports consider and address the trauma that many individuals have experienced.
If you have concerns about your mental health, take a mental health screen.

AS WE PROGRESS IN OUR VIRTUAL WORLD, ARE WE LOSING OUR HUMANITY?

Hello everyone as we progress with the virtual reality of this world and the GO-GO of the movement generation its becoming apparently clear that we all move so fast we lose touch with one another. Truly as I have with all of you I have lost touch and with that I must APOLOGIZE. 

This world is a set of digits, numbers, sets and slides that we have forgotten what is really important to us (family, friends, co-workers, students, teachers, Pastors and those close to us).

Our children and even some of us live in such an imaginary state of mind with our phones, that all we do is look at what is next on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snap Chat, and little by little lose some of our humanity for one another. Our kids have become so numb to the world around them and totally incoherent to the noise of pain and suffering because all they have seen is pain, noise, violence and confusion! So all they know to do is cause more pain, more violence, more noise and definitely in their minds is confusion. They want to be caught in the middle of everything because they have been programmed by social media that, that is the cool thing to do and to be. If you are not hurting and to be hurt and being the center of attention and getting the most HITS on social media you're not the IT person!! 

It has twisted our young people into victims of their own state of abusive delusion. 

That delusion has set an abusive pattern that has set a stream of many videos of suicide, cyber-bullying, caught on tape fights in bathrooms, teachers hurt by students and vise versa, brawl fights with girls and boys and many unforeseen cry-outs by parents for children and about children. This world is crying out for our kids! So what are we parents to do?

Unfortunately until we gather together as a nation to protect one another and our loved ones this kind of behaviour will continue. We must love, talk and seek to help one another and notice the signs immediately...BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!

Even 

IF- your child is the BULLIED or the BULLIER

IF- they are the ACCUSED or the 1 NEEDING HELP

IF- The they are LOVED or the 1 SEEKING to be LOVED

THERE IS ALWAYS TIME!!!

PUT THE PHONE DOWN AND LISTEN.

DRUG ABUSE, LET'S TALK!

Although drug abuse is hardly ever talked about as a bullying issues. It definitely is a pathway for many to begin to do many different drugs (marijuana, ecstasy, barbiturates, heroin, cocaine and  many worst drugs). Believe it or not many young men and woman after facing many abuse and bullying issues they will definitely try to escape to drugs as a way to escape their abusers and many of their life issues. But as family members we must learn to notice many of these signs of drug addiction early. Their is HOPE and FREEDOM from drug addiction and abuse.
