Crime Survivors overcome their fears…

 

I met Crime Survivors, Founder CEO in 2005 during my training with the Trauma Intervention Program, (TIP). She shared her story of her brutal attack and gave me the courage to share my story at a meeting in front of my peers. I was writing a book, “Stranger in my Bathtub” at that time, about my survival of a similar incident. I realized I wouldn’t’ be able speak freely and be a witness to others if I hadn’t found the courage to speak freely about my survival. She and I encouraged each other as we met several times over the years before my book was published in 2010. The Crime Survivor organization, has given others a forum and me the opportunity as a public speaker to help Crime Survivors overcome their fears. Sharon Dumont
