YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIDAHO FALLS — At the height of the national #MeToo movement to end sexual violence, a local mother is starting a support group to help with the problem locally.
Partnered with Addiction and Trauma Recovery Services, Carrie Shull is advocating for sexual abuse or assault survivors through her new group NextStep.
“I think that it’s really, really important that people understand the value of believing someone, of allowing them to express grief and anger, and sadness and fear,” Shull said.
NextStep is a free peer-support-group for women to find strength through the help of other survivors and resources for necessary healing.
“What I think this will provide is an introduction to some of the things that you might learn (in therapy), but we also want to focus on helping women live now day-to-day, even if you’re in therapy,” Shull said.
Shull said she wanted to start this group because she’s a survivor herself. She’s worked to overcome the trauma of being sexually assaulted in her teens. She and other advocates and professionals in the community want to show survivors what support looks like.
