ONWARD ~ and
~ UPWARD
Judith Florian, R.N.
|
Featuring articles and
discussion of diverse topics, including:
Issues concerning
Disabilities, Home Health Care, Sexual Abuse of Children, and Advocacy.
Sexual Abuse of Children (SA-C)
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Changes As Abuse Survivors Age
Artwork by those who have
experienced SA or PTSD
FOCUS:
Take a look at some artwork by and
about survivors and their experiences and lives. Some of the
pieces are abstract, some are life-like, some are obscure, some are
rather obvious and graphic. You'll find half-done drawings that
for one reason or another were never finished.
One caution before you click on
these pages: Don't visit the pages if you think it is not
the right time to look. Have a friend or therapist with you, if
you're feeling unsafe.
IMPORTANT NOTES, PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTINUING.
Please note that I do not
conduct therapy. I am not a therapist, and cannot give
advice on any subject. Therefore, I do not accept emails
concerning these drawings. You are welcome, however, to sign the
guestbook.
I also can not make any referrals
to any sources of help or therapy. Please consult your local
telephone directory or call your local "Hotline" for
referrals. Most survivors have heard this 1,101 times, but I will
say it also: If you feel unsafe or believe you cannot keep
yourself safe, call a friend, your therapist, local 911 or your local
Emergency Room.
This site cannot help you with
your life or difficulties, other than by knowing you are not alone and
to know that others have gone through similar experiences and have
survived the physical and emotional pain. These works are posted
as a way to share the the experience of sexual abuse and the
long-lasting aftermath. All rights reserved under
legal copyright law.
If you would like your artwork
added to this web site, please leave a message in the guestbook and I
will contact you with guidelines. You would retain all rights to
your works. Submissions would need to be scanned by you.

The title "Onward ~ and ~ Upward" is a
"motto" I used as a teenager and young adult --- then forgot about for
a number of years. I feel it is a fitting motto to strive for and a
fitting title for the topics of this website.
