    Episode 36: Defining What Matters

    This episode is part of the series From Survivor to Leader, where the LTS staff have discussions about all things LTS and what it means to be leading the work in long-term care for survivors of sexual violence. It’s a mix of our own personal experiences, the work our team does, and how those two things impact each other. Our hope is that survivors feel seen and validated and supporters gain a deeper understanding of what this healing process looks like. Our episode today is Defining What Matters. In our work as survivors and as people, it’s important to understand what our values are. Our values indicate how we make decisions and what we prioritize. It takes time and introspection to navigate what it is that we come back to time and time again. This is the process that we recently went through with LTS, working alongside community members, to define what alignment in our work means.

    Episode 35: Ask Us Anything, Part 1

    This episode is part of the series From Survivor to Leader, where the LTS staff have discussions about all things LTS and what it means to be leading the work in long-term care for survivors of sexual violence. It’s a mix of our own personal experiences, the work our team does, and how those two things impact each other. Our hope is that survivors feel seen and validated and supporters gain a deeper understanding of what this healing process looks like.  For today’s episode, we heard from you about what you want to know, what you’ve always been wondering, and what would be helpful to hear. Like everything we do at LTS, we don’t make the decisions about what we discuss in a vacuum. It’s important that the survivors in our community have their perspectives represented in everything we do. We hope that this will be the first of many of these episodes.

    Episode 34: Learning That Change Is Possible

    This episode is part of the series From Survivor to Leader, where the staff has discussions about all things LTS and what it means to be leading the work in long-term care for survivors of sexual violence. It’s a mix of our own personal experiences, the work our team does, and how those two things impact each other. Our hope is that survivors feel seen and validated and supporters gain a deeper understanding of what this healing process looks like. Our episode today is Learning that Change is Possible. The belief that change is possible flows in good and easy times. But when life feels uncertain, when facing trauma, when what once felt normal becomes a trudge, it’s much harder to believe that change is possible. Even something like catching a cold or the flu can sometimes feel like it will last forever. After the trauma of sexual violence, everything feels upside down, painful, or overwhelming for months, years, or even decades. Hope for possibilities and conviction that we can do something to improve our lives can feel illusive. The ironic thing is that starting somewhere, anywhere, and sticking with even the smallest of habits makes it possible to see bigger and more profound change. It’s getting the momentum going that is so hard. This is our conversation today–what it was like for each of us to take those first steps and the impact they had on our lives.

    Episode 33: The Other Side of the Coin

    This episode is part of the series From Survivor to Leader, where the other staff members and I are having discussions about all things LTS and what it means to be leading the work in long-term care for survivors of sexual violence. It’s a mix of our own personal experiences, the work our team does, and how those two things impact each other. Our hope is that survivors feel seen and validated and supporters gain a deeper understanding of what this healing process looks like. Our episode today is The Other Side of the Coin. Not surprisingly, a lot of the work we do can feel heavy. But, most people don’t see the other side of it–the beauty of the connections formed and the moments of laughter. Sometimes people even miss that we are full and complete people who have a range of emotions and experiences, including positive, joyful, and exciting things alongside the challenges. Today, we’re talking about that side, the one that many people don’t see, to give a clearer understanding that doing this work doesn’t mean that we never experience the lighter side of life.Visit us at ⁠www.louderthansilence.org⁠ to get help, find out more info, or to donate.
