So this is my first blog post... ever. And it's late, so I'm sorry.
This Friday 5/19 at Dartmouth
Join members of the Dartmouth community this Friday, May 19, 2010 at 3:30pm in Rocky 003. Bryan Adams, a speaker from "The Heard", a "renowned speakers bureau that has reached over a million young adults with mental health education," is coming to campus to talk about his experience with PTSD after serving in Iraq. This should be an incredibly interesting opportunity!!
April is SAAM!
Later this week, Sexual Assault Awareness Month will be wrapping up. This year the theme for SAAM was "Prevent Sexual Violence... On Our Campuses". While violence prevention should be emphasized throughout the year, SAAM brings national attention to the prevalence and impact of sexual violence.
Speak Out
Thank you to everyone who attended Speak Out and joined us for dessert and conversation last wednesday. Speak Out was an incredibly powerful and successful event. I was blown away by the record number of community members in attendance; we filled the room to capacity.

Managing Fear
As a survivor, you may find yourself afraid all the time, even in situations that you know are not dangerous. Try not to blame yourself! Heightened fear and anxiety is a common symptom of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and scientists have traced its cause to neural responses in the brain. Though increased fear is a normal development of a trauma survivor, there are some things you can do to manage that fear.
