The Mend Podcast,
Proudly brought to you by the Center for Crime Victim Services
The Mend, a podcast for survivors and victims of crime sponsored through the center for crime victim services in Vermont. Anna Nasset, an emerging international speaker and survivor/victim of crime, will be your host. This show was created to take a deeper look at services, organizations and notions for victims and survivors of crime. By acknowledging the healing process and providing resources not only in our state of Vermont, but through-out the country, our hope is to support those who have suffered a trauma. This podcast will guide listeners through the journey as they begin to mend. Join us every other week for interviews, stories, encouragement and more.
