As we continue to witness the unfolding of information, videos, and images surrounding the Epstein case worldwide, I ask that we remain mindful of the victims at the center of this tragedy.
In moments like these, there is often a tendency to protect individuals, minimize behaviors, or make excuses. However, when we protect perpetrators, we dishonor and devalue those who were harmed.
I urge everyone to keep the victims at the forefront of our thoughts and conversations. Let us lead with empathy, sensitivity, and accountability.
I also call upon my fellow therapists to remain alert, prepared, and available to support any individual who may seek services during this time. Our role is critical in providing safe, compassionate, and ethical care to those impacted by trauma.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this and for standing with survivors.
