Sexual Abuse Awareness Month

April is Sexual Abuse Awareness Month. A representative from the local abuse shelter, Sunrise of Pasco, came to Pasco Juniors' April General Meeting to talk about how they are providing services in our area for those in need. 

Sunrise of Pasco is based out of Dade City providing resources for individuals and families fleeing from an unhealthy situation. Abuse can manifest in a number of ways, from, the most obvious, a physical manner to a subtle restrictive and negative lifestyle. Sunrise of Pasco does have a shelter for individuals and families that are fleeing these types of situations. The local shelter provides up to 40 beds for survivors and is in constant need for essentials for these individuals. At the meeting, several members donated shelter essentials for the ladies currently taking shelter at Sunrise.
