About Us
WHY CHOSE TS?
There are several non-profits in Pierce County that can educate on sexual assault issues, and we can connect you to them! But non-profits can have strict guidelines on who is their audience (age, at-risk, etc), according to the grants they win. They can feel pressured to make their audience fill out information (race, disability, location, etc) to give to grant providers, thus taking away learning time and annoying clients. They also have to stick to the presentations they have, and don't have the time or flexibility to individualize each presentation. Maybe they have a presentation ready, but you want more time/activities/discussion/examples/assignments for students than they have? What if you, the client, want to address specific instances or policies in your workplace/group?
TS has the freedom to do what the client wants, yet still educate with information from the Washington Coalition for Sexual Assault Programs (WCSAP), the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC), NSVRC's parent organization Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape (PCAR), the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN), etc

Our History |
The mission of Truth Speaks is to speak the truth about sexual harassment, abuse, and assault in a non-threatening environment, to produce change. As a former educator to youth, Sally Linn had many adults come up to her saying, "Adults need this too!" If adults wish to get expert stats and advice, complete with interesting slides, discussion, and examples, email Truth Speaks! Webinars held at least twice monthly, and Sally is available to come present to businesses and adult groups.
A NOTE FROM FOUNDER/SPEAKER, SALLY LINN: "I NOTICED THAT IN COLLEGE, ACADEMIC CIRCLES, AND FIELD PROFESSIONAL TALK, THERE IS ALL THIS INFORMATION THAT NEEDS TO BE IN THE GENERAL PUBLIC. OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY MUST SPEAK ABOUT THEIR PROBLEMS, STATS, STORIES, AND SOLUTIONS. CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT WOULD MAKE? CAN WE PLEASE GET EVERYONE'S INTELLIGENCE AND HEART IN THIS PREVENTION WORK? TRUTH SHOULD NEVER BE HIDDEN, LOCKED AWAY IN DUSTY OLD CABINETS OF PRIVILEGE, CAMOUFLAGED IN THE WILDS OF THE 'INTERNETS', AND BURIED UNDER MOUNDS OF CITATION." |
