April is SA Awareness Month.

1 in 2 women.
1 in 6 men.

This is bigger than people want to admit.

It’s not rare.
It’s just hidden.

And for survivors,
it’s not “over.”
It’s something they carry every day.

So don’t just be aware.

Be someone who believes.
Be someone who listens.
Be someone safe.

Because no one should have to heal alone.
