    Thank you all so so much for jumping onboard at the get go! It’s amazing to see the care for this cause and so many supporters 💗

    I presented at a conference on Monday about EmpowerME’s next project to develop an AI, trauma informed avatar therapist and the feedback was absolutely amazing 🤩

    The main aspect appreciated is a survivor-led initiative and I think that is key for this survivor retreat too.

    Pretty please take a moment to forward this link to your colleagues and friends and anyone who might be interested in the cause.

    We have so far to go at the point and absolutely ANY awareness is imperative to us reaching our target 🎯

    Much love and appreciation

    EmpowerME ✨
