Presentation at The Whispers and Screams Conference
Friday, May 25th, 2007 four members of the Cedar Rapids MOMs group participated on a panel at the Annual Whispers and Screams Conference in Ames. This is a conference for professionals that work with at risk young women. Melissa, Angela, Lindsey and Lesa did an amazing job telling their stories. I am so proud of them. I know that by sharing their lives with the people at this training, hundreds of young women will be affected in a positive way. The people that attended this panel walked away with a better understanding of what can lead a young women to use drugs and alcohol and what they can do as professionals to help give young women the courage to survive physical, emotional and sexual abuse.
Thank You Melissa, Angela, Lindsey and Lesa for doing such great job!
