Read on GrepBeat

The tech-based nonprofit started in Raleigh, and the 501(c)(3) organization is designed to provide survivors with support and resources. Users who access the website can submit a story through the anonymous forum, where Linton (who is Co-Founder and Executive Director) and his team process and post the submissions within 24 hours. Then, Our Wave will send the survivors custom resources to help them process and heal.

What does it cost us to always be the strong one? This week, Tracey-Lee Kotzen sits down with Kyle Linton, Dr Njabulo Banda and Mari Lee to explore what happens when we carry our struggles in silence and feel unable to say when we are not okay. From the pressure to appear strong to the difficulty of asking for help, this is a conversation about vulnerability, connection and what we lose when we cannot speak about our struggles.
