September is a time to raise awareness, encourage conversations, and remind one another that help is available!💜🩵

If you notice these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, especially if they are new or have increased recently, take them seriously and reach out for help as soon as possible.

A conversation can make a difference. You don't have to have all the answers. Sometimes, simply listening, staying connected, and helping someone find support is an important first step.

🧡Bullying isn't always obvious. It can happen in person, online, or in ways that are easy to miss.

Knowing the warning signs can help you recognize when a child needs support or when they may need guidance for their own behavior.
Take a moment to review these signs and share this post to help raise awareness in our community.

Together, we can help create a safer, kinder environment for every child.🧡

🧡August is National Don’t Be a Bully Month🧡

Preventing bullying starts with everyday conversations, positive role models, and helping children build confidence. By checking in regularly, leading by example, and encouraging healthy friendships, adults can play an important role in creating safe and supportive environments for young people.

Together, we can help prevent bullying before it starts.

PTSD is not a weakness. It is a human response to intense stress, and help is available💟

If you or someone you know is struggling, please know this: you are not alone. Healing is possible, and support is out there.

Let’s raise awareness, educate others, and show compassion to those silently fighting battles we may not always see. While symptoms of PTSD may not always be visible, the impact is all too real🫶

06/01/2026

Today marks the start of PTSD Awareness Month! PTSD is a serious mental health condition that affects over 13 million Americans annually. It can look different for different people, and healing is not always linear.

Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not a sign of weakness!

If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available 24/7:
• 988 - Su***de & Crisis Lifeline
• 988, then Press 1 - Veterans Crisis Line
• Region 10 Crisis Hotline - (434) 972-1800

You are not alone. 💜🫶

The Greene County Victim Witness Program had a very exciting day today!!😃

Our Program Director, Ashley Burruss, had the opportunity to present to the Jefferson Area Board for Aging (JABA) community members about the services our program provides and the ways we support victims throughout our community.

We appreciate the warm welcome and the opportunity to share resources, answer questions, and connect with community partners who are dedicated to helping others. A big thank you to JABA for having us! 🫶

We were also happy to share a few goodie cups with attendees as a small token of our appreciation for their time and interest!😃💜

May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚

The Greene County Victim Witness Program knows that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, and even small steps matter. Self-care can look different every day, and that’s okay!!😊

Try our self-care bingo board and see what feels right for you. ✨

Take what you need, leave what you don’t, and remember: you’re not alone.

💚The things that we tell ourselves matter. Repeating positive affirmations, even something as simple as the phrases on this post, can help to build confidence, reduce stress, and support healing over time.

Take a moment to read them, say them, and believe them. 💚

💚May is Mental Health Awareness Month💚

For many individuals impacted by crime or trauma, healing is not a straight path. Some days may feel manageable, while others feel more difficult, and both are a normal part of the healing process.

There is no “right” way to cope, and no set timeline for recovery. What matters is finding support that works for you and taking things one step at a time.

If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. You are NOT alone!!

Finding ways to fill your cup and focus on your mental health doesn’t have to be difficult.💚

Start small with simple activities that help you feel less stressed, more balanced, and more like yourself. Little things can make a big difference in helping you feel less stressed, more productive, and more at ease!

Which one will you try this week?
