72. Caroline Markel Hammond: There’s Power in Keeping Your Story Your Story

Sexual Assault Survivor Stories Podcast - SASS

In the grand scheme of this podcast, my goal has always been to provide a platform for victims and survivors to tell their stories of rape or sexual assault in a safe environment, to help bring justice to victims and survivors of rape or sexual assault, and to provide my listeners with insights, education, and guidance to help survivors on their healing journey. Additionally, I’ve endeavored to help others, in all walks of life, better understand the dynamics of rape and sexual assault and to bring trauma-informed education to everyone. Caroline Markel Hammond is one of those rare people who comes to this show with a survivor story of a horrific series of rapes and sexual assaults, a phenomenal story of healing, and loads of education and experience on all types of interpersonal violence and trauma. She is also trauma-informed and provides help, guidance, and truly relevant tips and ideas on mitigating post-traumatic stress and prospering on the healing path. On top of all of that, she is the CEO of two non-profit organizations: “Safe in Harm’s Way,” designed to provide immediate assistance and resources for victims and survivors of interpersonal violence, and “Epizon Strategy Solutions,” designed to provide businesses with all sorts of organizational and profit solutions with an emphasis on preventing and handling interpersonal violence in the workplace.

The opportunity of having Caroline on this show is a true treasure. So much so, that I asked her if she would be willing to be a monthly guest on SASS. Caroline agreed to the plan, as her schedule allows, and to provide a monthly update on what is happening within Safe In Harm’s Way, and to share with us her progress on her own healing path. I am honored to have Caroline as this week’s guest.
