Rape survivors can be haunted for a lifetime. But new therapies are helping them make peace with the past.
Creative Healing techniques offer a way to explore the unconscious gently, by providing a safe, non-intrusive vehicle for the expression of emotions and complex thoughts. Its strength of rests on its ability to make concrete and accessible what may be at first unknown, unfamiliar or inexpressible through words alone.
Creative Healing allows individuals to use paint, clay, simple drawing materials, and other forms of art expression to give physical form to their thoughts and feelings.

It ain't easy being green...with envy that is the way your friends will be when they see you in this fabulous cloisonne and glass set.

The focal donut is green cloisonne with pink flowers and gold accents which is flanked by green peacock iris glass beads strung on professional strength stretch elastic.

Someone you know has been affected by sexual violence.
Whether you know it or not.
One in three woman and one in six men are victimized.
Could you talk to someone about it?
Would you know where to turn?
Now is the time to learn.
Every 45 seconds a woman is raped in the U.S.
She could be your daughter. 
She could be your mother.
One out of three girls and one out of five boys
will be sexually abused or sexually assaulted
before they are 18 years old.
She could be the love of your life. 
He could be your son or your brother.
It could happen to you. 
A sensitive, compassionate listener can propel a survivor
into a healing cycle faster than any medicine or any treatment.
