Happy Valentine's Day! I wanted to reach out and send you all love and gratitude for being a part of The Branch.Happy Valentine's Day! I wanted to reach out and send you all love and gratitude for being a part of The Branch. I also wanted to talk about something a little more serious. Today, is also V-Day, a movement to end violence against women. Are you in an abusive relationship right now? Are you being disrespected verbally or physically by anyone in your life? Have you been a victim of rape, sexual assault or other violence? Is it time for you to reach out to someone for help about anything that you have been through, past or present. I encourage you to face these issues head on because they don't go away without working through them. Find a counselor to talk to, share your story with a trusted friend or even find organizations like Family Shelter Service of Metropolitan Family Services DuPage that help women and children. I am also opening up myself as a resource. Do you feel like you don't have anyone to talk to or confide in? Whether we know each other personally or not, I invite you to email me at drcathy@thebranchmoms. com. While I won't be able to be a full-time resource for everyone, I will do my best to connect you to the right people or services to help you. I will keep anything you share with me 100% confidential (unless I know you are in serious immediate danger). Today, please know that you are worth being respected and loved. Dr. @thirteenth2 Founder of The Branch
