FOCUS GROUP: FEBRUARY 2012

“It took so much for me not to break down crying. I know first hand what if feels like to live in this war zone. It effects me psychologically, emotionally, mentally, physically, and

  • socially. I do so much work in the Community but when I go

home my outreach efforts stop and I hide in our apartment and don't engage with my neighbors at all. I am traumatized and know how much I needed for someone to go door to door to see if families and children were okay and needed to talk.”
