Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Directors in the Children’s Advocacy Centers of Georgia state network of CACs have collaborated on a book certain to provide words of future hope and healing for the courageous children who have been victims of childhood sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Indeed, anyone who has experienced a traumatic event, or have been the loved one of such a person, will find value and meaning to the thoughts and messages inside this book. Our mission is to be, now and always, for the children. ___________________ “People who work at Children’s Advocacy Centers go to work not just for a job, but in commitment to an important cause. Ultimately, their response and involvement with a child who has alleged child abuse and the child’s family, while significant, is relatively brief considering the future lifetime of a child. However, this can be a critical pivot point for everyone involved. With this book, the Children’s Advocacy Centers of Georgia, through the amazing words of the Executive Directors of Georgia’s CACs, seek to expand their positive influence beyond the immediate needs of child survivors of abuse and their families. The words in this book are parting gifts for the children and families who are served in Children’s Advocacy Centers, for them to read and contemplate, and then re-read, in their own individual journeys toward health and healing” (Chris Newlin, MS LPC, executive director, National Children’s Advocacy Center, Huntsville, Alabama).

Book excerpt: I am rejuvenating from Summer-break. Ready to get the school year started. Knowing that my year will have its struggles. That's my job. To help structure and teach the lives have headstrong, ill-mannered, and ill-natured kids. I am not realizing at that moment, that my struggles were going to be with the adults. My coworkers. The people I am supposed to count on. My team. I realize that adults can be worse than kids. I never imagined getting bullied at work. Especially from grown adults. I thought we were a team. We are supposed to support one another, not tear each other down. We work at a school for troubled kids, but yet the trouble coming from the adult minds. We are supposed to be examples, role models for these young children. Who are mentally still growing? However, we are teaching them to lie, hurt one another, and do whatever it takes to bring your peers down. So you can get ahead. Our kids are not dumb. They know what's going on, they see it. They are smarter than you think. Bullying does not just happen in your young life. It can happen to anyone at any time. So many people get bullied at their place of work. Sometimes the victim has nowhere else to turn but to turn to social media. When you so caught up in the torment that you can't think right. Your brain is on fire. From all the suffering, confusion, questions, and sadness. That when you're in the crossfire, you can't think clearly. To stand up for yourself. When you finally do stand up for yourself. You are in tears, shaky, anxious, terrified, and have so many thoughts flashing through your fired brain. Your higher up does not agree with you. He agrees with the bullies who are clear-minded. Who are the master manipulators? Who have their thoughts together? I had to walk through the crossfires this year — the fire of feeling mentally alone, not wanting to go to the job I once loved so much, feeling a heavy weight on my shoulder, not being able to escape reality. The reality of my life. The truth of getting bullied, not knowing where my life will be in a month from now. The ups and downs I have to face, of my everyday life. Questions I have to ask. The questions are, will I escape the torment? Will I be a survivor? Or will I end up giving up on myself? Will the bullies once again get away with murder? Will the truth prevail?

Download or read book Qualifying Times written by Jaime Schultz and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2014-03-15 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This perceptive, lively study explores U.S. women's sport through historical "points of change": particular products or trends that dramatically influenced both women's participation in sport and cultural responses to women athletes. Beginning with the seemingly innocent ponytail, the subject of the Introduction, scholar Jaime Schultz challenges the reader to look at the historical and sociological significance of now-common items such as sports bras and tampons and ideas such as sex testing and competitive cheerleading. Tennis wear, tampons, and sports bras all facilitated women’s participation in physical culture, while physical educators, the aesthetic fitness movement, and Title IX encouraged women to challenge (or confront) policy, financial, and cultural obstacles. While some of these points of change increased women's physical freedom and sporting participation, they also posed challenges. Tampons encouraged menstrual shame, sex testing (a tool never used with male athletes) perpetuated narrowly-defined cultural norms of femininity, and the late-twentieth-century aesthetic fitness movement fed into an unrealistic beauty ideal. Ultimately, Schultz finds that U.S. women's sport has progressed significantly but ambivalently. Although participation in sports is no longer uncommon for girls and women, Schultz argues that these "points of change" have contributed to a complex matrix of gender differentiation that marks the female athletic body as different than--as less than--the male body, despite the advantages it may confer.
