October 10th is World Mental Health Day. For survivors and the professionals who support them, mental health can be impacted by stress, trauma, and the experiences we carry with us. Taking care of ourselves and reaching out for support when we need it are important parts of that process.

Today, we’re reminded that mental health deserves care, attention, and compassion every day, not just October 10th.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month 💜

This month, we take time to recognize survivors and honor the strength it takes to navigate the path toward safety and healing. We also recognize the advocates, professionals, and communities who continue to show up, listen, and support survivors along the way.

At CITRC, we believe healing happens through connection, support, and having people who lead with compassion walking alongside you.

🌿 If you've been affected by crime, Iowa law gives you rights — to be notified, to be heard, to have an advocate, and to seek restitution or compensation. You don't have to navigate this alone.

With trauma-informed care, supportive relationships, and time, the brain has an incredible ability to adapt and recover. Understanding what's happening in the brain can help reduce shame and remind survivors that their responses are normal reactions to abnormal experiences.
