I've been raped twice, once when I was 19 and again when I was 36. I never truly dealt with either rape. In February I saw a news story about Silent No Longer and I contacted them. It was a gift from heaven when they emailed me back.
They understood what I was feeling, they helped me realize I was not to blame, and I was finally able to tell my family. I had carried that weight for twenty-one years, and thanks to Silent No Longer TN, that weight is lifted.

I attended a Silent No Longer TN workshop in 2018. The instructor was very knowledgeable but was able to explain things using easy to understand words and examples. She also really encouraged us to participate in the discussion and wanted our opinions and thoughts.
I've gone to at least a couple dozen workshops, and this was by far the best I have ever attended. I recommend Silent No Longer TN to everyone.

Silent No Longer saved my life....PERIOD!
I was harassed, grabbed and groped by my Captain for a couple of years. I was scared, ashamed and thought I was all alone. I heard a couple officers talking about a survey Silent No Longer put out and I filled it out. A lady messaged my back and helped me realize it wasn't my fault and that I did not have to go through it alone. She didn't care that I would not talk to her on the phone and was willing to listen and help through email.
If it hadn't been for her and Silent No Longer, I would be dead today.

The people at Silent No Longer are creative and caring. I saw on Facebook they were having a poetry night and anyone could be a part of it. I wanted to be a part of it and share my story of assault, but I had just started writing poetry and thought they wouldn't accept me. THEY DID! It wasn't about putting on "stars" it was about giving victims a chance to share.
It gave me more confidence, and after a lot of work, I have gotten a lot better. I also am not afraid to talk about what happened to me and I hope that can help others. Thank you Silent No Longer for changing my life!

I was assaulted just a few weeks after #metoo. I went to the #metoo caucus at the Women's March conference, and went to a workshop they held two months later.
There weren't many people there, but the lady who led the workshop never missed a beat. She turned the workshop into more of a round table discussion and made us all feel like we were all part of the team. I learned more that day than I have learned at any workshop, class or conference before or since. I highly recommend Silent No Longer TN.

The passion and energy these women have is an inspiration. The number of hours and the work they put in trying to help victims of the police department has helped the female employees more than they will ever know. Just knowing someone believed us and cared about us and was willing to challenge the department so we could hopefully have a safe place to work means the world to all of us. I don't know how they keep going when the department keeps putting up roadblocks, they keep plugging along. They are a real life "little engine that could." Nashville and the entire state of Tennessee are very luck to have them.
