You don’t need to know exactly what to say before reaching out.

You might need someone to listen. You might have questions. You might be trying to make sense of what you’re feeling, looking for resources, or simply needing reassurance in a difficult moment.

Whatever brings you to us, our 24/7 Crisis & Support Services are here to meet you where you are. You decide what you want to share and what support feels right for you.

When someone discloses sexual violence, the way we respond can shape whether they feel safe continuing the conversation or seeking support.

A survivor may already be carrying fear, shame, confusion, or uncertainty about how they’ll be received. Meeting that disclosure with compassion, belief, and patience can help reduce that burden.

You don’t need to have the perfect response. What matters most is creating space for them to be heard without judgment or pressure.

Listen. Believe. Let them lead.

A safer Halloween starts with looking out for each other. 👻💜 At parties and celebrations this Halloween, pay attention to the people around you.

👉 If someone appears uncomfortable, check in.
👉 If you notice a boundary being ignored, don’t ignore it.
👉 If a friend wants to leave, help them get home safely.
👉 If you see concerning behavior, find a safe way to intervene—whether you Direct, Distract, or Delegate to someone else.

Creating safer spaces shouldn’t be the responsibility of the person who might experience harm. We all have a role in respecting boundaries and looking out for one another.

Board Spotlight: Erisha Covin 🌟📣

We're so grateful for the dedicated individuals who make up the Silverleaf Board of Directors—and we want you to get to know them too! Today we're featuring Erisha Covin, who has served as a Silverleaf Board Member since 2024.

Erisha is an experienced social worker with over a decade of expertise serving children, families, and vulnerable populations through trauma-informed and strength-based practice. She came to the Silverleaf Board with a clear sense of purpose: to help shape programs, support organizational growth, and be a voice for those who may not yet feel empowered to speak for themselves.

Outside of her professional work, Erisha tends her butterfly garden—a hobby that feels fitting for someone whose work is rooted in transformation and growth. And her bucket list item is as meaningful as the work she does every day—to visit the Holy Land and walk the places where Jesus lived, taught, and ministered.

We are so thankful for Erisha's commitment to Silverleaf and those we serve.

When someone chooses to share that they’ve experienced sexual violence, the response they receive can matter deeply.

You don’t need to have all the answers. You don’t need to investigate what happened or find the perfect words. Listen. Believe them. Thank them for trusting you. Remind them that what happened was not their fault, and ask how you can support them.

A compassionate response can help create space for a survivor to feel heard, respected, and in control of what happens next.

Kids are growing up online and digital safety is real-world safety. 📱 Our Technology & Internet Safety Education Program gives elementary-age students (ages 5–11) the tools they need to navigate online spaces with confidence, awareness, and strong boundaries.

Through age-appropriate, engaging instruction, students learn that their personal information is valuable, that not everyone online is who they say they are, and that it's always okay to step away from something that doesn't feel right.

Most importantly, they learn that help is always available from a trusted adult—no matter what happens online.

This program is available for elementary schools and youth-serving organizations in our region. We also offer a parent training component that can be scheduled alongside student sessions. To learn more, reach out to our office at (270) 234-9236 or email [email protected].

A costume is not consent. 🎃 What someone wears for Halloween does not communicate what they want, what they’re comfortable with, or whether they’re interested in someone else.

❌ A revealing costume is not an invitation.
❌ Flirting is not consent.
❌ Dancing with someone is not consent.
❌ Going to a party with someone is not consent.

✅ Consent is communicated freely and clearly—and it can be changed or withdrawn at any time.

This Halloween season, let’s keep the focus where it belongs: respect the person, respect their boundaries, and never make assumptions based on what they’re wearing.

October can bring reflection, memory, and emotional awareness. 🍂 Self-care this month may mean creating extra space for gentleness. If emotions feel closer to the surface, that’s not a setback—it’s a response.

You deserve care, especially during heavier seasons.

How will you show yourself kindness this October?

If recent news surrounding the Cornell 7 feels difficult or triggering, please take care of yourself in whatever way you need.

It’s okay to turn off the television. It’s okay to stop scrolling, mute certain words or accounts, step away from conversations, or give yourself space from the coverage entirely.

And if the coverage brings up difficult emotions, memories, or experiences and you would like support, Silverleaf is available 24/7. You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable sharing. We’re here to listen.
