Three Years Ago! Survivors Blog Here Was Born
The night Survivors Blog Here was born, Army of Angels, Hyperion, and myself brainstormed late into the night. We asked ourselves, what are readers looking for and what can we offer them? How do we make it inviting and show our commitment to helping people move forward? At that moment, we knew Survivors Blog Here’s mission.
We’re a collaborative of writers with a common goal to support men and women while working thru pain and taking steps forward to healing. Our contributors have diverse backgrounds, personalities, and age, which makes for interesting reading.
People with pain from Mental Illness, Child Abuse, Domestic Violence, Men’s and Women’s Sexual Assault, have to keep moving forward to understand the pain. Each step brings you closer to overcoming the next challenges and transitioning from victim or patient to Survivor.
Survivors Blog Here’s foundation is the Contributors who share their struggles to help others. Our followers are the brick and mortar of our blog. Our readers are expressive, loyal, and continue to push us forward. Thank you for following, leaving comments, making Survivors Blog Here a brighter place.
Army of Angels send’s her love and will return soon. To highlight the celebration of our third year anniversary, We want to shine a light on our Contributors and Readers who expresses joy, care, empathy, and love for one another. You surprise me, make me laugh, I grow from you. Thank You. You can find your favorite Contributors at Survivors Blog Here and their personal Blogs below.

Mind Charity
Mind’s 2016-21 strategy is called ‘Building on change’.
It’s the next stage in our journey towards our ultimate ambition of support and respect for everyone with a mental health problem.
On reflection
Since launching our previous strategy in 2012 we’ve seen some significant changes in mental health. In just four years, public attitudes are improving, support is growing and mental health is high on the political agenda.
Because of Mind, millions more people have access to advice and support thanks to our information and services nationally and locally, in England and Wales. We’re building on change, but we know there is much more to do.
People need Mind more than ever
Too many people still don’t have the things they need and deserve to stay well. And, that’s not good enough.
Triple Shot Thursday *It Takes All Kind Of People*

California’s Sexual Assault Survivors’ Bill of Rights Signed into Law
Overjoyed at the success of California passing the first Sexual Assault Bill of Rights in 2016. Why not a NATIONAL LAW? Men and women sexual assault survivors deserve protection across America. M
Amanda Nguyen and her organization Rise, starting a Change.org petition. Her passion and dedication helped protect 25 million sexual assault survivors.
HELP California Rape Survivors!
Victory — On October 7, 2016, President Obama signed the first ever Sexual Assault Survivors’ Bill of Rights into law. Championed by Amanda Nguyen and her organization Rise, this important legislation will help give civil rights and protections to more than 25 million sexual assault survivors.
5 months before signing the law, Medium.com ran the campaign below during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The video is a provocative look at how hospitals judge and disrespect some Sexual Assault Survivors.
Five Ways You Can Support Survivors During Sexual Assault Awareness Month 
Nurse Arrested & Physically Abused for Doing Job
This story is important to everyone. Freedom was taken away from Nurse by Police Officer who violently abused and arrested an innocent woman. HE still has a job! This behavior adds to the divide in our country. Who next? When will this insanity end.
WP Editor has a mind of own, creating a formatting error. It’s Monday! M
Change.org
Alex Wubbels is an ER nurse from University Hospital in SLC, Utah who was arrested for following hospital policy and looking out for the rights of her patient. Let’s get behind her for doing to right thing.
This petition is to raise awareness of the dangers of front line staff in healthcare. Alex was simply following protocol and protecting her patient. She was stuck in a rock and a hard place and protected her patient. It is a situation I’m sure myself and other RNs have found themselves in at some level and at some point in their career. I can’t speak for what the patient did before they got to me, I will treat them with respect and protect their rights until they give me reason not to (like put me in danger).
While I am never an advocate for putting someone’s livelihood at risk without due process, I do think Officer Payne needs to have a formal written disciplinary action placed in his permanent file. If it is found that it has been a trend of similar behaviors during his time on the force, then he should be stripped of his badge. Additionally, I believe a public apology should be given by him to Alex.
This petition will be delivered to:
- Utah Governor
- Senator
Orrin Hatch - SLC Police Chief
