In October of 2018, Hurricane Michael ravaged the Florida Panhandle and destroyed more than physical buildings. Child abuse survivors at the Gulf Coast Children’s Advocacy Center lost safe spaces to heal. From therapy sessions on downed tree trunks and in the parking lots of fast-food restaurants, the loss of homes, schools, friends, and “normal life” – abuse survivors and their therapists overcome obstacles to find joy, love and healing with the help of a fellow survivor, advocate, and Florida Senator who is determined to demonstrate that strength and resilience can be found even after the darkest of storms. This is their emotional Journey Home.
Watch the journey unfold this April as we commemorate National Sexual Assault Awareness Month & National Child Abuse Prevention Month:
