25.01.2022 Survivors Prayer Dear God, Thank you that even when I felt alone in the dark, you were there. I didn't see you but I look back and know that I came out of it all because of you.... There are days that are so hard but I thank you for reminding me of how strong I am. I am a fighter, and yes I have put up a good fight with you to, but with you on my side I know I am a winner and no longer need my guard up. It is hard for me to trust because I have been let down so many times but I know that I can turn to you for anything and believe you will never abandon me. Thank You that I can let go of the heavy burden of guilt and shame that was not mine to carry in the first place, and now I choose to live free from the hurt for the rest of my life. I know I sometimes forget how far I have come and get off track but I thank you for your love that reminds me to be grateful for the little things and the fact that I am alive to live another day! I have so much more I want to say and do but I will try to be patient. I am ready to let go of my past so I can feel happier and hope that one day I will be healed and made whole again. Please Please Please protect my mind and keep me safe. I surrender all my worries to you. Amen.

24.01.2022 Exercise is one of many things we can do that is great for our mental health, especially when done with people who are passionate about supporting you to reach your goals. Thank you to Kylie from Spiders Boxing Club Inc for the invite to attend the Active Moreton Boxfit Class which was too good to pass up at $4! Love what you do for the community Team Spiders Starting a new activity may feel like a challenge at first but when you get in to routine of being active and have a ...few laughs in between, it gets easier. Here are a few things to remember as you work on your physical self for greater mental health. Be gentle and kind to yourself Start small and take one step at a time Do your best believing it is good enough Keep telling yourself "Yes I can" Listen to your body Don't compare yourself to anyone, no one Ask for help

24.01.2022 Today's tear jerking inspiration. For those survivors who experienced bullying on top of the sexual abuse, may you know how strong you are and that you can be anything you dream to be It's ok not to be ok ... Talking about the life experiences and effects from abuse means we are breaking out of the shame #whosashamednotme #xfactor #RiseUp #dreamscometrue #itsokaytonotbeokay #meanttorise #wearemeanttorise #iammeanttorise

24.01.2022 Because you did with what you knew to get through the hurt. The past is not what defines you but part of what makes you the stronger you today Make ammends with your little you that dwells deep within because she/he only ever wanted to be loved.... Forgiveness of self is absolutely empowering.

24.01.2022 Repeat this phrase every day for a month whilst looking in the mirror and notice what changes then share your thoughts here. I AM WORTHY!

23.01.2022 A Volunteer Soccer Coach A Disability Support Worker A Child Care Worker A supermarket worker A Chef... Bottom line predators can be found in any profession. 6 Charges of sex with a child under 10! That's just the start and that's not going to be the worst, because the worst has happened, is happening, and will continue whilst evil goes on. Let's say IT'S NOT OK! Let's talk about it. Let's be aware. Let's protect our children from being abused. How can we identify who is safe and who is not when perpetrators are highly functioning people who are sometimes well trusted individuals, business persons, family friends, the local "nice" person? Perpetrators will victimise the most vulnerable because they feel they can get away with the abuse and that the child may not ever feel brave to speak up or that no one will believe them or even care to check in on them. It is great to see that more action is being taken and that children are being rescued....there is a long way to go and more dark places to dig through. Parents, keep on guard and watch the behaviour of your child around others. #whosashamednotme #itsnotok #exposethem #thetruthexposed #childsexualabuse #survivor #rememberingsurvivorspassed

23.01.2022 Happy 3rd Anniversary Bribie Island Butterfly House! A huge thank you to Ray and Delphine for the invitation to join you in celebration of your amazing work. It was an honour to present on MEANT To RISE and all the positive impact your donations have made as we meet the needs and support survivors through their trauma of childhood sexual abuse. It was a great night acknowledging and celebrating the volunteers and highlighting the dedication you have poured in to such a spec...ial place of peace. Thank you for dinner, your companionship, and the lovely gifts. Alone we accomplish nothing compared to when we are working together. May there be years upon years to come with visitors constantly walking through reaping the peace and beauty the Butterfly House Sanctuary offers.

22.01.2022 Meant To Rise is a community of survivors doing what we love the most and supporting others to make it through their toughest times. We were very blessed to have the opportunity to share the love and dedicate one of our gift wrapping days to raise funds for Caboolture Community Action who support individuals, and families doing it tough year round and in crisis needing food, clothing, advocacy support and more. We raised $150.95 and that allowed us to do a grocery shop fil...ling a trolley of food to replenish a small portion of the 170 food hampers that Sharin from CCA said all walked out the door on Friday with individuals and families who can now enjoy a Christmas lunch and celebrate with less worry and make more joyful memories. We are community supporting community. Thank you to our generous community for helping us make this possible.

22.01.2022 Good always wins!

21.01.2022 Online child exploitation is on the rise. For more details read below. If you suspect or are experiencing abuse of any kind phone 000 for immediate assistance or 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732)

21.01.2022 Last year, 39% of convicted child sex offenders did not spend one day in jail. That's just not ok, not even close. These offenders are the lowest of the low. ...For nearly three years we have been fighting to introduce mandatory sentencing for child sex offenders, against the opposition of Labor and the Greens. This week we finally prevailed, forcing Labor to backdown and our Government passed important new laws to ensure child sex offenders go to jail for at least a mandatory minimum sentence. This is going to help keep our kids safe and give our Police and prosecutors the strong laws they need to put these grubs away.

21.01.2022 What a beautiful session it was yesterday. Thank you Marnee Kent for sharing your skills and teaching us a specific art therapy method to share with our clients. Marnee is an art therapist based in Moreton Bay Region and works from a space of love and deep compassion for others, we are absolutely grateful to have you alongside us in the work we do.... Expressing the trauma can be difficult and overwhelming, we understand the need for holistic therapies that support self expression and releasing. We are excited to be putting together mini workshops specifically for survivors of all ages to come and learn techniques to support their long term healing and independance. WATCH THIS SPACE.

20.01.2022 When we are about to do something that we have never done before but feel it is going to help us in a positive way, we may feel quite vulnerable. All we may want to do in that moment is run far far away. Each time we feel the fear of the unknown (something different to what we are used to or have experienced before) and acknowledge that yes it may be a little scary but, we take that step forward and do it anyway, we are faithfully trusting and learning how to let the control... go. In the space of vulnerability, is where your inner child heals because you are standing up for you. Stand up for you and be vulnerable BE VULNERABLE and ask yourself what could happen if you said yes to your dreams. BE VULNERABLE and tell your story. BE VULNERABLE and cry those tears you have been holding back for years. BE VULNERABLE and let the healing overcome you. BE VULNERABLE and trust again. BE VULNERABLE and be you. BE VULNERABLE and ask for help. BE VULNERABLE and open the door in front of you and close the one behind you.

20.01.2022 Anything is possible. Think it! Believe it! Take action towards it!... Your future is Possible

19.01.2022 At Meant To Rise we focus on encouraging healing for survivors and post a variety of positive material on our feed. We also strive to be part of educating others and preventing more children from being harmed and lives destroyed from predators. From time to time, we will share posts that we know is relevant for the community as well as encourage awareness and safety for the innocent children.... Please encourage your children to speak up if they don't feel safe around certain people, and to never keep a secret that makes them feel sick, afraid, or bad. No matter where our kids go, we must be diligent in teaching them and ensuring they feel safe to talk to you about anything and not fear your reaction towards them. ALWAYS BELIEVE THEM FIRST Teach them that even if its a teacher, a family member, a friends parent, a doctor, police officer....it can be anyone, any gender, any social status, educated or not, popular or socially isolated....a predator is good at hiding behind a smile and appears safe and friendly and someone least expected most times.

19.01.2022 JOIN MEANT TO RISE FOR THIS FAMILY FRIENDLY AND FUN DAY FILLED WITH ACTIVITIES AND INFORMATION ON KEEPING OUR CHILDREN ... AND OUR COMMUNITY SAFE FROM CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE. WE WILL BE COMPLYING WITH ANY COVID SAFETY REGULATIONS AS REQUIRED BY THE GOVERNMENT AT THE TIME OF THIS EVENT. PLEASE SHARE

19.01.2022 So proud of this young girl for speaking up and not hiding what has happened She, like many other scared children who report their traumatic abuse are hero's because they stop it from happening to other innocent children who could have come in contact with the accused predator. PARENTS KNOW WHERE YOUR KIDS ARE GOING... ASK YOUR CHILDREN IF THEY FEEL SAFE WHEN THEY ARRIVE AND THROUGH THE NIGHT (Better to be an annoying parent knowing they are safe) FIND OUT IF THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE AT THE PERSONS HOUSE THEY ARE VISITING BUILD A RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM WHERE THEY FEEL SAFE TO COME TO YOU ABOUT ANYTHING OUR CHILDREN NO MATTER HOW INDEPENDANT OR RESPONSIBLE, STILL NEED OUR GUIDANCE AND REMINDERS OF HOW TO KEEP SAFE AND BE AWARE OF THEIR SURROUNDINGS Unfortunately we can't put full trust in others to take care of our children and keep them safe, it is a parents/caregivers responsibility.

18.01.2022 SUPPORT holds one up time after time and doesn't give up because of turbulence and heavy storms. Support for a survivor is crucial as they take steps forward through healing. Team Meant To Rise send a massive THANK YOU to Kathy Sweeney - REMAX Living and her team at REMAX Living for blessing us with their support! Thank you for partnering with us and raising funds to make a difference in the life of a child as proceeds go to the "A Friend For Life Care Packs". These pac...ks will see their way in to the hands of a child and their families after child sexual abuse trauma. We appreciate you hearing our call for assistance and we are truly grateful.

18.01.2022 Signs of encouragement and hope is all around us

17.01.2022 You have come a long way

17.01.2022 Hey Queensland! Let's talk face masks Face masks can be a useful measure to help control sustained community transmission. Sustained community transmission is when we have multiple cases of locally acquired COVID-19 where contact tracing and testing is unable to identify how the person was infected. At the moment, there is no evidence to suggest that Queensland has any sustained community transmission. If you live in the greater region of Brisbane, a face mask might be suit...able if: You are in a situation where social distancing cannot be maintained, i.e. public transport or a busy shopping centre If your GP has told you to wear one If you are caring for someone who has COVID-19 If you are attending a GP clinic, hospital or ED If you are sick and getting a COVID-19 test Face masks alone will not protect you from COVID-19. It is also vital that other COVID safe practices are followed, including: Washing hands often and thoroughly Maintaining a social distancing Covering coughs or sneezes Staying at home if unwell Getting tested if you're showing any signs of COVID-19. Queensland Health

STARTS MONDAY NOVEMBER 23rd ENDS DEC 24th Opening and closing times as per centre hours. See you all there

15.01.2022 Maintaining self care keeps you mentally strong for challenging times. Going without it for too long can make us feel unbalanced and more reactive.

13.01.2022 Through the journey of healing we become aware of what we truly deserve in life after childhood sexual abuse trauma. We become empowered to make choices based on what we genuinely like and dislike, as well as listen/tune in to our gut instincts more. We start setting boundaries, speaking up for ourselves and create healthy relationships with positive connections that allow us to develop a sense of trust and safety around us as well as within us.... Peace, is a result of actively making choices we feel peaceful when making, and from this flows....you guessed it...a peaceful life. Sleep in peace beautiful soul xx #peaceaftertrauma #lettinggotobefree #freedomfromwithin #survivors #childhoodsexualabusetrauma #healing #stopthecycle #unseenscars #becauseIwasabused

13.01.2022 There is JUSTICE IN THE HEALING THERE IS FREEDOM NEW PERSPECTIVES ... NEW PERCEPTIONS THERE IS INNER PEACE THERE IS TRUE INNER JOY These are just a few life changing reasons why letting go and healing is a better choice. The power you hold is that YOU NOW HAVE A CHOICE TO CHOOSE YOU

Our mission and vision is to ensure that those who have been impacted through this type of offence, are given the support and services they need, on an individual b...asis, to assist them to live a life that is not governed by past or present traumas. For us to be successful in meeting the needs of the community that are, or have been, child victims of sexual abuse, we need physical and financial support from our community stakeholders. Not everyone is able to work on the front line but this is an opportunity to make a difference in the life of even one victim who just wants to know it was not his or her fault and that there is hope for their future. Healing allows transition from struggling victim to empowered survivor. We need your support.

06.01.2022 Loving yourself unconditionally sets the standard of how you deserve to be treated. You are loving, suppportive, compassionate with an amazing ability to say the right things to others during their toughest times....YOU deserve that from yourself too. Strength in the relationship with yourself is so important for healing....there is less resistance and more self determination to become empowered.... Here are some ways to start becoming your own bestie Tell yourself how proud you are for all that you have overcome and for trying even when it was difficult. Give yourself a hug! Yes, a hug...and hold it for more than 20 seconds to release those feel good hormones Take yourself on a date, maybe for lunch, or to that local cafe you have been wanting to indulge in their caramel slice over coffee Tell yourself all those kind, encouraging words that you tell others...you are often told you give great advice. Truly Believe in yourself and your dreams... A powerful daily affirmation "I BELIEVE I AM FREE" Listen....just listen to what your heart is telling you. Take out the expectations of the world and judgments of the past, and just listen. Your heart genuinely wants you to be happy and to see you fulfill your dreams. Yes you can be an inspiration helping others Be on your team and see yourself with love and compassion as you do for those closest to your heart. Be healed and stop the hurting within just as you would want the suffering to stop for others. Treasure yourself You are worth it!
