Call for Submissions to 'Voices of Truth' Project'

LOS ANGELES - Sept. 8, 2020 - PRLog -- Many people have experienced violence and abuse, yet live in silence. Fear, shame, rejection and the thought of further abuse has kept secrets locked away from even closest family and friends.

Voices of Truth project is an opportunity for those who have experienced violence or abuse to empower themselves, by telling their truth and as a result help prevent someone else from a similar experience.

The Positive Results Center is looking for Black/ African (Americans) and their Descents of all ages and genders that are interested in sharing their stories for an upcoming handbook. This project will create awareness, help in preventing violence and abuse and assist victims in healing.

Research shows that even brief autobiographical storytelling exercises can have substantial impacts on psychological and physical health even months after the storytelling. Resilience is strengthened by recognizing that we are all experts in our own lives and we all have something to share with others.

"Silence allows the violence to grow," says Kandee Lewis, Executive Director of The Positive Results Center. "Sharing signs of abuse; what we don't see, hidden in plain sight, right in front of us; and strategies for prevention can help further victimization."
