This year Jan will be focusing on the difficult words we tend to tie to ourselves, offering insight and tools to manage or overcome these obstacles. This month, the focus is on the concept of words. Jan discusses the significance of words, especially in the context of April, which is recognized for various awareness months, including National Child Abuse Prevention Month. She emphasizes how words can either help or harm individuals, particularly those who have experienced abuse. The conversation explores the importance of using appropriate language when discussing sensitive topics and provides key phrases that can support survivors. Jan advocates for empathy and understanding in conversations about trauma, highlighting the need for awareness and advocacy to prevent abuse.
