Tracy Matheson founded Project Beloved: The Molly Jane Mission after her daughter, Molly Jane, was tragically raped and murdered in 2017. Driven by the need to create change, the organization focuses on transforming police interview rooms into trauma-informed spaces, making them more comfortable for survivors of sexual assault. This initiative, now in over 100 law enforcement agencies nationwide, helps victims feel safer as they recount their experiences, ultimately aiding investigations. Project Beloved continues to grow, with a waitlist extending into 2025, underscoring the vital impact of their work. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/g5xTdq-P

For a survivor, disclosing to someone they care about can be very difficult. Here are four ways for you to be as supportive and non-judgmental as possible 💙
