“Strength in Healing” Safe Waters Motto

Humble, grateful, and proud - that is how I am feeling right now. I am proud to announce that we have officially formed our non-profit, Safe Waters. Currently, we have four members on the Board of Directors. If you follow the podcast and group then you are already familiar with Joanne Cloud and Meghan Klement. Our new friend, Emily Hand, is the President of Safe Waters and comes to us from Wisconsin.

Please listen to the interview to get a run down of who we are, what our goals are, and how you can help!

I think our mission statement sums up what our goals are pretty well:

“Safe Waters is dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and empowering space for Coast Guard members who have experienced sexual assault and harassment within the Service. Our mission is to foster healing, promote resilience, bolster prevention, and create a community where survivors are empowered to share their experiences and find solidarity.”

More information will come in the following weeks. Our website is launching soon as well as our helpline. We are also setting up methods to receive donations so you can help as well.

Thanks for listening, and take care of yourselves.
