TamingTrauma is committed to fostering healing, empathy and understanding between those who have caused harm and those who have been harmed.
This week we want to highlight the work of Planting Justice: plantingjustice.org

We publish stories of trials and trauma so others who feel at their wit's end and alone can be encouraged and know that they aren't. We also publish stories of healing so people can see there's hope and answers to their problem. Perhaps you have your own story to tell. Send to: [email protected]
