READ MORE – National Resources & MONTAGE
Even though the Mission of Papillon Z is the Prevention of Sexual Assault through Empowerment; Metamorphosis; Education, Training & Technology, I recognize and acknowledge that many women are Survivors of various traumas from their childhood, teens and/or adult life. Many Survivors STILL struggle every day.
That is why I have included SO many pages (30 Categories!!!) of Resources for Support and Services for Survivors!!
The original Resource page back in early 2019 was a half-page that consisted of organizations that I found on the RAINN website! As I researched support services for Survivors of sexual assault, I discovered more and more organizations that provide more and more services for survivors of other traumas. What began as literally one half-page of Resources now encompasses 30 different categories (Table of Contents below) for PREVENTION, as well as SUPPORT & SERVICES for Survivors.
It truly was a Labor of Love – when I thought about all of the people this information could help and save – over 4 years and 4000+ hours!! So please feel free to share! Especially if you read a post on Facebook similar to this…. someone is crying out for help, ready to end it all. Which is exactly what happened to me a few weeks before Christmas 2021 – I read one of those posts in a Sexual Assault Group, and reached out, sharing a few links to my Resources pages for Prevention of Suicide, etc. And we started “chatting,” then talking on the phone off and on for about 6 hours that afternoon and evening. You never know when you might save someone’s Life! (I have screenshots of her messages where she confirmed what she had planned to do that day…and how I saved her Life!)
We have added a new Resources page for International Resources, for US citizens who travel abroad. We will be expanding soon to include organizations which provide support and services to Survivors who live in other countries around the World.
We have also added something new – Montage – our newest Resources page! Featuring Instagram accounts and websites that provide all types of information and services (Articles, Blogs, Books, Classes (Virtual & In-Person), Support Groups & Services, Podcasts, YouTube videos, Professional Services, etc.)
All of these Resources (and Hotlines) are available for EVERYONE!
