As many of you know, this month is both Human Trafficking Awareness and Stalking Awareness month. As part of our efforts to provide information about these two equally important and often over-looked victimizations--we're pulling together a collection of resources, but also a variety of places you can spot themes of stalking and human trafficking in the media.


Disclaimer: Branches strives to bring attention to socially responsible depictions of these victimizations. In the meantime, in the spirit of full disclosure, Branches would like provide a variety of experiences and perspectives related to the issue. We do not anticipate that fictionalized accounts will provide strictly accurate information for survivors nor do we expect that it will always align with Branches' advocacy approach.


Trigger Warning: Please go forward with caution! Some of the stories depicted below may be triggering for some people. Above all, we hope you'll take care of yourself.


Resources:


SPARC--The Stalking Prevention & Awareness Resource Center

FRIS--WV Foundation for Rape Information & Services on Stalking


Polaris--an information resource on the prevalence of human trafficking

As spring rains roll in, we’re collecting umbrellas to support survivors in our community.

Many of our clients rely on walking or public transportation to get to work, appointments, and school—often waiting outside for long periods of time, no matter the weather. An umbrella may seem like a small thing, but it can make a big difference in staying dry, comfortable, and cared for during those daily routines.

​

If you’d like to donate umbrellas, we’d love your support!

​

Donations can be arranged by calling 304-529-2382 (Cabell) or 304-586-3865 (Putnam) and speaking with an advocate.
