Today, Jan is joined again by Kelly Justus, survivor and founder of The Justus Project. In part two the discussion touches on the impact of trauma on individuals and the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment for survivors to come forward. The Justus Project and Brave Step are mentioned as organizations that provide support and resources for survivors. The importance of educating and healing adults, not just children, is emphasized. The idea of creating a production company focused on sexual assault stories is mentioned, with a focus on telling the aftermath stories and addressing the mental and health effects of assault. In conclusion, there is a need for cultural change and the power of survivors' voices in creating that change.
