[EVENT SPEAKER PROFILE]
In 2015, Syazana found herself seeking support after suffering physical and emotional abuse from a family member, but couldn't find a group that addressed her needs.
“A lot of survivors want a kind of normalcy in our lives," she shares, "so while focus groups are important and help you tend to your specific issues, we don’t really want to be labeled as ‘the other’. We still want to integrate and move on with our lives; we can’t do it alone, the community needs to know we exist and everybody has a part to play.”
Join the webinar "From the Ground Up" to find out more about Syazana’s Ground Up journey and many more from the groundup community. Breakout discussion rooms will be assigned based on your preferred cause.
