It’s good to be back…

But please bear with me today as I’m beyond exhausted after a long, long trip back from Pittsburgh last night.
I was there for a training by the Youth Outreach for Victim Assistance project, but ended up sitting in a plane with no air conditioning for over 3 hours before we even took off to return to New York (the actual flight was supposed to be one hour). Damn you, US Airways!
At least the training was amazing, where youth groups from across the nation came together to learn about how to combat teen victimization. One of the groups, the Madras High School Youth Development team from Oregon, made an actual film to bring awareness about child sexual abuse, Silent Message. Check out the trailer; it’s pretty damn amazing what youth can achieve when given the opportunity.
