This month has been a time of reflection for many assault survivors. To conclude Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Certified Trauma Recovery Coach and Relationship & Sexual Violence Program Manager from Prairie View A&M University, Nakia Hanson joins us to share how she survived years of abuse in a college dating relationship amongst peers who chose to 'victim blame' her. Find out how this Survivor's Advocate took that negative experience and turned it into a positive one by pursuing a career in trauma counseling. Learn about the prevention programs she offers to faculty, staff and students on her campus, along with ways to avoid "people pleasing" by developing safe dating practices and clarifying conversations about consensual sex. Nakia completed her Master of Arts in Counseling at Prairie View A&M University and she received her Bachelor of Science in Sociology at Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
