Sexual violence is a reality that affects people of every age, gender, and background—and often, it happens in silence. Many survivors carry their stories quietly, weighed down by fear, shame, or the belief that they won’t be believed or supported.
PASSAGES Inc. is working to change that!
On Saturday, August 9 at 7:00pm, PASSAGES Inc. will host Shattered Silence: Stories of Survival and Strength at the Heritage House in Brookville. This free public event will feature volunteers reading powerful monologues based on real stories from survivors in our local community.
The goal of this event is threefold:
🔹 Raise awareness of how sexual violence affects individuals and communities.
🔹 Empower survivors by honoring their courage and validating their voices.
🔹 Encourage open, honest conversation about a topic that is too often avoided.
These stories are real. They are raw. And they matter.
Each one represents a voice that refused to stay silent—and every voice helps others find their own.
By attending, you are not just an audience—you are a supporter, an ally, and a part of the change.
While admission is free, donations are appreciated to help PASSAGES Inc. continue providing vital services like crisis response, counseling, advocacy, and education in our region.
👉 We strongly encourage community members to attend this event.
Your presence sends a powerful message: survivors are not alone, their stories are heard, and our community stands with them.
Together, we can break the silence.
Together, we can build a more compassionate Brookville.
