FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Teal House Names Ashley Lindsay Interim Executive Director

Good Day Consultants engaged to provide interim leadership and consulting support during transition

STATESBORO, Ga. — The Teal House, the Statesboro Regional Sexual Assault & Child Advocacy Center, announces the appointment of Ashley Lindsay as Interim
Executive Director, effective September 4, 2026. Lindsay's appointment is supported through an engagement with Good Day Consultants, which is providing interim leadership and organizational consulting support to The Teal House during this period.

Lindsay brings more than 10 years of experience in grants management and nonprofit executive leadership. She most recently served as Executive Director/CEO of the
Children's Advocacy Center of Lowndes County for nine years, where she led multi-county operations, expanded services from six to eight counties served, and strengthened multidisciplinary collaboration among law enforcement, the Division of
Family and Children Services (DFCS), prosecution, medical providers, and schools. She has served on the Children's Advocacy Centers of Georgia (CACGA) Statewide Site Review Committee, and she is a graduate of the University of Georgia's Executive
Leadership Program for Nonprofit Organizations (ELPNO), class of 2024. Lindsay holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Valdosta State University.

As Interim Executive Director, Lindsay will provide organizational leadership for The Teal House, including budget development, grant oversight and compliance, and continued coordination with the center's multidisciplinary partners across law
enforcement, medical, legal, and social services systems serving Bulloch, Jenkins, Screven, and Effingham Counties. Good Day Consultants will support the Board of Directors in their search of a permanent executive director.

“On behalf of the Board of Directors, we are ecstatic to be partnering with Good Day Consultants, and were lucky to have the wealth of experience Ashley brings during this transition time. Anytime there is a Board-directed leadership transition initiated, such as this, I understand it can be a frightening time for our community and partners. However, I can assure our community that throughout this transition, our central commitment
remains unchanged: supporting children, survivors of sexual assault, and their families.

"We are excited to build the Teal House, Statesboro Regional Sexual Assault Center, into the premier site in the state.” said Adam Dean, Board Chair of The Teal House.

"I am honored to step into this role and to work alongside our multidisciplinary partners in this critical work" said Lindsay. "Our commitment remains, first and foremost, to the
children, families, and survivors we are honored to serve, and to ensuring they continue to receive the advocacy and support they deserve without interruption.

To the survivor who feels like they should be further along... you are not behind.

To the survivor having a difficult day... you haven't failed.

To the survivor who needs to rest... You are allowed to pause.

To the survivor who isn't ready to talk... you don't owe anyone your story.

Healing isn't about getting back to who you were before. Sometimes, it's about discovering who you can become after. Give yourself the same compassion you would give someone you love. đź’™

Not every survivor will react to trauma in the same way.

Some people cry.
Some become quiet.
Some get angry.
Some laugh or act like everything is okay.
Some remember every detail.
Some struggle to remember parts of what happened.

There is no single “right” way to respond to trauma. A person's response does not determine whether their experience was real or how much it affected them. When we understand trauma, we can respond with compassion instead of assumptions.

Different responses. Same need for support.

❔❓What do you say when someone gets hurt? ❓❔

You don't need to have the perfect words and you don't need to fix everything. Sometimes, the most important thing you can do is listen.

Try saying things like:
“I believe you.”
“I'm glad you told me.”
“This wasn't your fault.”
“You don't have to go through this alone.”
“What do you need right now?”

Avoid asking questions that place blame, such as “Why didn't you leave?” or “Why didn't you tell someone sooner?" Instead, offer patience, compassion, and a safe place to be heard. One supportive response can make a difference.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO CARRY YOUR STORY ALONE.

You don't have to have all the words or know what comes next, and you don't have to tell your story before you're ready.

Sometimes, healing begins with simply letting someone sit beside you in the weight of it.

A trusted friend.
A family member.
A counselor.
An advocate.
Someone who will listen without judgment.

You were never meant to navigate everything alone and asking for support isn't a sign of weakness. Sometimes, strength looks like saying, "I need someone."

Whatever your story holds, you deserve to have support along the way. You don't have to carry it alone. đź’™

Some days, healing feels like taking big steps forward. Other days, healing looks like getting out of bed, taking a breath, and making it through.

You don't have to accomplish something extraordinary every day.

Survival is not failure. Rest is not failure. Taking a step backward does not erase the steps you've already taken.

Be gentle with yourself. You are still here. You are still healing. And that is enough. đź’™

Some wounds take time. Some days you may feel strong - other days, simply getting by may be an accomplishment.

You don't have to heal on someone else's timeline. You don't have to be okay just because time has passed.

You are allowed to take your time, have difficult days, celebrate the small victories, and begin again.

Healing isn't a straight line—and there is no finish line you have to reach. Be patient with yourself - your healing matters. 💕

The internet can be a great place for children to learn, create, connect, and have fun—but it's important that we teach children how to navigate it safely. Here are a few simple reminders for caregivers:

Know what they're using. ‼️
Take an interest in the apps, games, websites, and platforms your child uses.

Talk about privacy. ‼️
Remind children not to share personal information like their full name, address, school, passwords, or location with people online.

Teach them about online strangers. ‼️
Someone online may not be who they claim to be. Encourage children to tell a trusted adult if someone makes them uncomfortable or asks them to keep secrets.

Create an open-door policy. ‼️
Let your child know they can come to you—even if they made a mistake, broke a rule, or are afraid they'll get in trouble.

Talk about uncomfortable content. ‼️
If your child sees something confusing, frightening, or inappropriate online, remind them: they can always come to you.

Most importantly, keep the conversation going. Internet safety isn't a one-time talk—it's an ongoing conversation as children grow and technology changes. The goal isn't to scare children away from the internet - it's to give them the tools to use it safely.
