Overview

Our project was born from a need and desire among our program participants and partners to form a community that collectively turns towards the issues of sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse. Our supporters were desperately searching for a way to stay connected to Joyful Heart. Our plan is to produce and distribute three issues of JHF's magazine, Reunion. We have heard from survivors that our first issue was a life-changing resource. One reader said, "I cannot express the joy on my face when I saw it in the mail." Now we want to share our message with a wider audience. We will feature a survivor's path to joy and will engage readers in three ways that mirror our mission: helping survivors and practitioners heal with thoughtful selfcare; educating our supporters and partners about issues important to our cause; and empowering the wider community with ways to work together to end the cycle of violence and abuse.
