Det her er min fortælling om, hvordan jeg har udviklet mig, og hvordan jeg er vokset efter mine traumatiserende oplevelser. Som 12-årig udsatte min far mig for incest. Det har medført senfølger såsom angst og posttraumatisk stress. Jeg fortæller om ensomheden og forkerthedsfølelsen. Hvordan det er at bryde tabuet om at være udsat for incest. Jeg fortæller om min historie, om at udvikle mig fra at være offer og leve i offermentalitet til i dag at være en fighter med et stort F. Og meget, meget mere. Jeg har skrevet min bog til andre ofre, så de kan se, at det er muligt at udvikle sig i en positiv retning og leve et almindeligt liv trods en tung bagage. Min bog er også til pårørende, så de har mulighed for bedre at forstå. Og til fagpersoner eller andre interesserede, som ønsker mere viden om at leve med psykiske udfordringer og overleve overgreb. Uddrag af bogenDa dagen kom, var jeg fyldt med anspændthed. Jeg var nervøs. Ondt i maven. Anspændt helt ned til mine tæer og op igen. Onde sommerfugle i min mave. De rumsterede. Det har de gjort, lige siden han forgreb sig på mig. Det gør de stadig, når jeg har angst. Når jeg er bange. Når noget, jeg frygter, skal ske. Når jeg skal være midtpunktet. Når jeg får opmærksomhed. Det var første gang, at jeg skulle se ham, efter at han var blevet anholdt. Jeg havde næsten glemt, hvordan han så ud. Hvordan hans stemme lød. Om forfatteren Emilie Staach Hedemand (f. 1997) læser til socialrådgiver. Som 12-årig blev hun udsat for incest, og i slutningen af sin HF besluttede hun sig for at fortælle sin historie for at hjælpe andre ofre og oplyse pårørende.

Da Nana som 17-årig flytter hjemmefra, længes hun stærkt efter løsrivelse fra sin psykisk syge mor, som hun og søsteren har boet alene med i årevis. Hun hungrer efter stabilitet og ro, men træder i stedet ud i flere år med bulimi, OCD og svære depressioner. - Er du sur? bliver hun spurgt af folk omkring sig, når hun med en hård og vred skal forsøger at holde sammen på sit krakelerede indre. Nej, Nana er ikke sur på nogen. Vreden er et skjold i en uregerlig tilværelse, hvor hun mistrives og er usikker og ulykkelig. Bange for at være ved at gentage historien. Er hun simpelthen skizofren som sin mor?“Er du sur?” er en dramatisk og hjerteskærende, men også uhøjtidelig fortælling om at komme igennem en turbulent barndom. Det er en fortælling om at vokse op med en psykisk syg mor og en far, der er alkoholiker. Om at havne i en problematisk og depressiv ungdom uden identitet eller selvværd. Midt i alvoren er historien også livsbekræftende, hvor den beskriver morens kærlige og muntre sider eller farens til tider komiske optrin. Bogen er et vigtigt vidnesbyrd om, at det kan lade sig gøre at skrive sin egen historie om. At det kan betale sig at tage imod hjælp og blive ved med at kæmpe. Mange små fremskridt bringer efterhånden Nana den rigtige vej. Selvom hendes psykiske bagage indimellem føles tung, lever hun i dag langt det meste af tiden et godt liv.

The CirclePoint Method describes a set of ten integrated mechanisms that enable educators to effectively and efficiently prevent and resolve bullying issues in schools. The mechanisms are designed to address bullying problems in ways that result in personal growth for the students involved and to account for what harmed students need in terms of healing and avoiding future bullying. The mechanisms are easy to implement, save educators significant time, and are designed to allow educators to resolve bullying issues while maintaining compliance with district-mandated policies. The unique mechanisms of the Method include: - Constructive Consequences: a direct replacement for punitive discipline, this mechanism is highly effective at stopping bullying with no risk of retaliation by the aggressor and saves administrators significant time by eliminating the need for lengthy investigations and parent meetings- Chain of Custody Awareness: provides an incentive for aggressors to change their behavior and ensures targets feel safe while allowing educators to focus only on the aggression that require monitoring- Classroom Strategies: describes ways that teachers can effect positive change and prevent bullying among their students, improving the learning environment- Education: a comprehensive education on bullying for educators to eliminate myths and misinformation and provide a clear explanation for the drivers of bullying behaviors and the harm caused to targets- Target Support: a five-step framework that all educators can learn for providing support to bullied students to help them heal, reverse the harm caused by the bullying, and empower them to deal more effectively with future aggression- Removal of Barriers to Reporting: concrete steps educators can take to eliminate the reasons why students don't report bullying so administrators will know about the bullying issues in their schoolsWhen applied with fidelity, the mechanisms allow educators to resolve bullying issues quickly and create a safe school environment. The Method results in outcomes that are satisfactory to all involved, including parents. Over time, the mechanisms should transform the school environment to make bullying less accepted by students. Additional related resources educate and empower parents and students, resulting in a whole school community working in partnership to ensure that all students have a positive educational experience.
