First Time Speaking Out!

Speaking at his university’s Survivor Speak Out event in September 2023 was a significant moment for Henry. It marked the first time he openly spoke about the experiences he and his family endured regarding domestic violence. It took him a long time to feel comfortable addressing and raising awareness on this delicate topic. His childhood experiences with domestic violence have had a lasting impact on his mental health, often making him feel trapped. However, by speaking at this event, he felt like he regained control over those experiences and could potentially make an impact.
