We Give Thanks For Our Thrivers!!!
This Thanksgiving we are grateful for restoration, resilience, healing and strength! Today we introduce you to our next thriver Xavier in "A Story To Tell" Thanksgiving Edition.
"A Story to Tell" is an awareness project and PSA that speaks the truth about abuse from real people with real traumatic experiences who see themselves as survivors and thrivers!
We invite you to join us today for a special Thanksgiving #ThriveTuesday!
Next week we will be back every Thursday for #ThriveThursday throughout the rest of the year as we introduce you to a new Thrivers and their video.

Although all of our Thrivers are People of Color, we acknowledge that trauma and violence happens to everyone!
These are statistics that show the magnitude of violence:
Data from the CDC show that at least 38% of children have had at least one adverse childhood experience before 18, impacting children and families across racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups.
"A Story To Tell is part of PRC's "Healing Through Trauma" that provides safe spaces for participants to feel supported, connect in a non-judgmental and loving environment, and cultivate their leadership skills while exploring ways to impact their community positively," explained Kandee Lewis, executive director of the Positive Results Center. "
Positive Results Center received a two-year grant from Blue Shield of California Foundation, they support lasting and equitable solutions to make California the healthiest state and end domestic violence.

The first case Noble v. Superior Court may help where there 1) there are allegations of domestic violence and the court does not inform the parties about the Family Code 3044 rebuttable presumption and 2) where there is a finding of domestic violence and the court does not apply Family Code 3044 even here where it was a temporary custody order.

The second case K.L. v. R.H. may help where 1) a court issues mutual restraining order against a survivor of domestic violence without going through and analyzing each of the required factors under the law including the history of abuse between the parties and 2) a court uses a survivor's criminal history outside the scope allowed by law.
