BOCA RATON, Fla. - Feb. 21, 2018 - PRLog -- The #MeToo moment has snowballed into a movement that is reaching every corner of the world, including Palm Beach County. Local therapist, speaker and author, Kristen Bomas is supporting women who choose to embrace the #MeToo movement by hosting a free community event on Tuesday, March 20, 2018 (the first day of Spring!) from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at Old School Square's Ocean Breeze Room (51 N Swinton Avenue) in Delray Beach. Dubbed a "Night of New Beginnings," women are invited to attend, share and generate awareness of harassment they have experienced, suffered and endured.

Partners in the event include: The Palm Beach Tech Women's Council. The Palm Beach Tech Women's Council, was founded with the intention of educating and continuing to support safe work environments for women.

The goal of the event is for women to open their eyes and the eyes of everyone around them through personal awakening, in a therapeutic environment. Further, Bomas hopes to move the conversation forward and offer attendees a path to get the appropriate assistance if needed, learn about their individual options, or simply start a new beginning.

"Both #MeToo and #TimesUp say 'I understand you and I connect with you because I too have had that experience' - a truly a grand statement of unity," says Bomas, who has been practicing for more than three decades. "The female energy is all about uniting, which is why women are intuitively, cognitively, emotionally and physically connecting to these campaigns."

Bomas believes that the #MeToo movement is just the beginning of worldwide awareness of the severity, pervasiveness and depth of the challenge. In her Boca Raton practice, she focuses on this awareness as the most important first step of the healing process.

Both the #MeToo movement and the #TimesUp celebrity-driven campaigns have united women in a common cause. Where #MeTo created awareness, #TimesUp takes the next step to stop the pain and suffering and put an end to the sexual harassment, assault and inequities that women have endured for centuries.

In addition to the "Night of New Beginnings" for local women to share their experiences and start the healing process, Bomas offers these tactics for South Florida communities to further #MeToo and #TimesUp movement:

• Lobby local government for greater resources to combat harassment.
• Train professionals to recognize and address sexual abuse, assault and harassment.
• Create an environment where everyone begins to engage and participate in the dialogue.
• Engage the children, youth, and adolescents to bring awareness to honoring their own bodies and the bodies of others.

Subsequently, she turned her attention to trauma and substance abuse and addiction.

ABOUT THE PALM BEACH TECH WOMEN'S COUNCIL

The Palm Beach Tech Women's Council, was founded with the intention of educating and continuing to support safe work environments for women. The council was started by South Florida natives, Tyler Tornaben, Stephanie Buzano and Ashley Taylor, who, like many women in tech, understand what it feels like to be in a male dominated space. This is why they decided to design the Women's Council to cultivate the power of diverse women and their communities to create transformative change in the technology sector.

The vision is to impact women interested in pursuing meaningful careers in tech while simultaneously educating and securing a culture that supports women in these roles and beyond. They hope to be an additional community resource for women to feel heard and empowered. They intend to continue to partner and support other likeminded initiatives and collectively strengthen women's voices. Learn more at https://www.facebook.com/groups/palmbeachtechwomen/.
