Together We Are Survivor Strong
RISING UP FOR AWARENESS MOVEMENT CONTINUED...
Spreading awareness and educating the public
Choosing a different topic each month to help spread awareness and educate the public on social issues affecting our society.
SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS
April 2019
I Wear Teal For Her. Tough In Teal.
April is sexual assault awareness month for That Is Freedom and other organizations like us. Stand with us as we take a stance against sexual assault and fight back.
PSYCHOLOGICAL ABUSE
May 2019
Fighting Psychological Abuse this May! Know what psychological abuse can look like and how to help loved ones fight back.
VICTIM-BLAMING
June 2019
Join us and fight to end victim blaming this June. Learn what victim blaming is and help educate others, so we can end the stigma together. Sexual Violence is never the victim's fault.
THE NARCISSIST ABUSER
July 2019
The Narcissist Abuser. This July, we take a deeper look into narcissist abuse and the abusive narcissist. "Now you see them... Now you don't..." is just one of the phrases we created for this month's R.U.F.A movement topic. It's purpose to help people understand that a narcissist is always wearing a mask and that only the people who chooses (often times, his victims) will see the real evil person he is. Stay tuned this July to learn more about narcissist abuse and the abuser himself.
RISING UP FOR AWARENESS MOVEMENT
Educating our community, one topic at a time.
AUGUST 2019
Grief
Grief: healing from loss. This topic came up when my Grandfather passed away suddenly days before the month of August started. I realized that I had never been touched by death this personally, this close. Then I realized that perhaps some of our followers and supporters might have been grieving over a number of things lately, and it became clear to me that this August, I would address the topic of "Grief" and help others deal with the grieving process, just as I had started.
SEPTEMBER 2019
Anxiety
#WeAreAnxiousPeopleÂ
This month we talked about anxiety, because anxiety is a mental illness at least 18% of the people in the United States, according to Time magazine in May 2018. We discussed types of anxiety people suffer from, ways to cope with back to school anxiety, symptoms of anxiety and more. Visit our instagram page @that_is_freedom to watch our video about anxiety, or find it in the graphics and video section of our website.
OCTOBER 2019
Depression
In October, we chose to focus on Depression because it's another very common mental illness in the United States. We discussed self-care for depression, the different types of depression, coping skills for depression and more. We wanted to educate our community on depression because it's "something more than just sadness."
NOVEMBER 2019
Human Sex Trafficking
"Freedom For Our People". During the month of November, 2019, we focused on educating our community on human sex trafficking. On our instagram page, we posted graphics with facts about human sex traffickers and human sex trafficking victims and we posted a flyer about human sex trafficking. We also posted a video about human sex trafficking, and a research paper on the predators of human sex trafficking, that our founder, Druw C. Biello, wrote for a global social problems course she took during college at Reinhardt University.
RISING UP FOR AWARENESS MOVEMENT
"Knowledge Is Power"
DECEMBER 2019
PTSD is a psychiatric disorder that affects more than just combat veterans, although many combat veterans suffer from it. So this month, we wanted to teach our community more about PTSD, because "it's more than a mental fight." On our social media pages, we talked about who has PTSD, the symptoms of PTSD, examples of traumatic events that somebody suffering from PTSD has gone through, and more.
THE END OF OUR RISING UP FOR AWARENESS MOVEMENT
In December 2018, our founder started the movement Rising Up For Awareness to help educate our community about different social issues, and after a year of focusing on 12 different social issues, we decided to put this movement to rest in order to be able to create more movements and projects that also fulfill That Is Freedom's purpose, which is to educate and advocate for our community. "Knowledge Is Power" and we hope you will continue to follow us and support us through the next phases of our journey as an awareness campaign & educational organization.
WE HOPE YOU LEARNED A LOT AND ENJOYED OUR RISING UP FOR AWARENESS MOVEMENT
