Sparkle, Pop, Boom: Staying Grounded Through Fireworks
The 4th of July can bring joy for some, and distress for others. Those who live with post traumatic stress disorder, who are on the spectrum, and/or who are survivors of other forms of trauma, may seek ways of reducing the negative impacts of experiencing fireworks....

Tomorrow is #GivingTuesday, the perfect day to take action in support of trans and non-binary survivors of violence. 50-66% of trans people experience sexual violence. Over 50% have experienced intimate partner violence. Others have also experienced additional forms of violence like stalking, bullying, and hate-motivated crimes. All too often, trans survivors don’t have access to the individualized care they need to heal. .
FORGE is working hard every day to change that, to help create pathways for trans and non-binary individuals to receive the care they need. If you, too, believe survivors of all genders deserve equal care, donate through this link: forge.tips/3lp6Cpc. Your support makes a real difference.
