We’re sharing practical boundary steps tested in meetings to help you build healthier relationships. T tip: name your limit clearly and state one brief consequence, calmly and without explanation. Our standardized meeting templates, rooted in program traditions, show exactly how to practice this in group work so you can take it home with you. Want meeting listings focused on relationship recovery? Visit https://wix.to/fYKPVvY and join other women practicing these skills. How would you try this step this week? 💬💛

A public crisis- awareness is critically important because acknowledgment is required for prevention and interventions!

Join us tonight for the first of three meetings covering abusive relationships. This isn't only about intimate relationships; this is about any relationship. We will pivot to a unique perspective that I have spent years researching, which will be covered at the end of the series. I hope you can make it tonight! It's free for any and all women, non-binary, female-identifying people. The topic can be uncomfortable and triggering, so please keep that in mind. You will also be given, free of charge, a list of resources and additional links to learn more about the topics we explore at the conclusion of the series this month. Please join us. The link for the meeting will be available on our website one hour before the event CST at nextstepwew.org, or you can email me for the link at [email protected].

We may have to find the pieces of ourself we lost, even those we didn’t know we had, simply to be whole again and it is worth the work. You are worth the work and with a strong support system you don’t have to do it alone!

As someone who’s walked the path of recovery, I know how hard it is to rebuild healthy boundaries after growing up in a dysfunctional family. Our online ACA meetings create a steady, structured space where you can learn and practice those skills with supportive volunteers who guide each session. We offer specialty meetings—like evening options for busy schedules and formats that are chronic-condition friendly—so you can find a meeting that fits your life. Curious how a session flows? Check the meeting template to see the structure and know what to expect. Visit https://wix.to/HzMoRa4 to find a meeting that meets you where you are. You don’t have to do this alone.

I’ve found that the steady practices from recovery meetings translate directly into stronger relationships: clear boundaries, calm communication, and spotting harmful patterns early. When we show up regularly and use structured tools—meeting templates, consistent curricula, and volunteer-led exercises—we build real, measurable skills. Are you ready to practice saying “no” with kindness, to speak your needs, and to notice red flags before they become harm? Join our supportive community and see the difference steady practice makes. https://wix.to/Y8WUXdY

The TAKE IT DOWN Act officially went into effect on May 19, allowing survivors of image-based sexual abuse to report platforms that fail to remove intimate images or videos within 48 hours of receiving notice from a victim.

Survivors can now file complaints directly with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) through TakeItDown.ftc.gov The FTC also has the ability to pursue action against platforms that fail to comply, including significant financial penalties.

The TAKE IT DOWN Act also makes it a federal crime to knowingly share or threaten to share nonconsensual intimate images, including AI-generated explicit images and deepfakes.

As technology continues to evolve, so do the forms of exploitation impacting victims and survivors. This bill marks an important step toward holding platforms accountable for online abuse and image-based sexual exploitation.

I still remember my first login — nervous, hopeful, curious. I joined a meeting, then another. I tried a workshop, clicked through app resources, and found tools that fit my pace.
