NRCDV’s Youth Advisory Board is excited to introduce the Triumph Over Trauma Campaign. This youth-led campaign invites us to normalize and destigmatize experiences of trauma and adversity, and explore the ways we grow from these experiences towards resilience and healing.

Whatever happened to us, it happened, and we are who we are because of it, not in spite of it. Together, we can embrace, value, and celebrate our survivorship. We invite you to consider and share how you #TriumphOverTrauma. Check out our campaign flyer to learn more!
