Warrior Stories — They Empower Us All!
What were
some of the defining moments in your life when you found your
Fighting Heart and became a warrior? Did you defend your little
brother against a bully when you were 8 years old? Parachute out

win a war (see

A Word To
Crime Survivors.
Sometimes
nothing can be done to prevent the outcome of a situation and
submitting, with or without resistance, is a valid option for any

It's common for crime survivors to feel

professional help, you can learn to put it into perspective and
get on with your life. To get the most beneficial help, contact a
local Rape or Domestic Violence hotline or women's organization
for a referral to a counselor or program that deals specifically
with crime survivors. There are some
resources
listed on this website that might also prove helpful.
