Today, I was interviewed by a gal doing a school project. She asked all the typical questions - what do you do, what's easy, what's hard, what services to you offer to victims, etc, etc. And then she asked: Why did you get into this field? I explained my history, my a-ha moment and why this work is a calling for me. I'd like to thank her for helping me stop in the middle of a Friday afternoon and remember why I do what I do. If you see one of our staff - ask them why they do this work. I think we all have very heartfelt and interesting reasons. Sharing and reflecting on those reasons helps re-fuel our passion.
Thanks!
