From all of us at the Victims Assistance Centerβ€”and the furry family members we serveβ€”thank you for making a meaningful impact. We are so grateful for your support. πŸΆπŸ±πŸΎπŸ’™

πŸ’œβœ¨ Celebrating a Legacy of Service βœ¨πŸ’œ

Today, we recognize and thank Cindy Intschert for her incredible dedication to our community and the Victims Assistance Center.

As Jefferson County District Attorney, Cindy played a vital role in helping establish our Child Advocacy Center, ensuring children and families had access to trauma-informed services when they needed them most. After her retirement, her commitment to serving others continued through 9 years of service on our Board of Directors, helping guide our mission and strengthen support for victims throughout our region.

Cindy's leadership, compassion, and unwavering belief in justice have left a lasting impact on countless lives.

Please join us in thanking Cindy for her years of service and dedication to creating a safer, stronger community for all. πŸ’œ

πŸ’™June is Men's Mental Health Awareness MonthπŸ’™

Some of us were taught to be the dam.

Hold it together. Stay strong. Don't cry. Don't talk about it. Keep the pressure behind the wall and tell everyone you're fine.

But pressure doesn't disappear just because it's hidden.

The cracks start small. Stress. Anger. Isolation. Sleepless nights. Anxiety. Depression. The duct tape goes on and we keep telling ourselves, "I've got this."

Until the water starts finding a way out.

Real strength isn't pretending the cracks don't exist. Real strength is recognizing when the weight is too much to carry alone and having the courage to reach out before the dam breaks.

If you're struggling, you don't have to hold it all in.

Talk to a friend. Talk to family. Talk to a pastor. Talk to a counselor. Talk to someone.

You matter. Your story matters. And your life matters.
