It takes courage to love and have compassion for those who do not yet love themselves, but that love and compassion is transformational to those we reach.

Let’s work to ensure the impact we’re making in our communities is empowering. There are so many well-meaning volunteers, giving of their hearts and time. But when we view our clients as “victims” we are holding them in that space, as if they have no power to be anything except where they are. We need to create awareness with the staff and volunteers to shift our perspective.

Many non-profits have clients that have been victims of circumstances, victimized, emotionally abandoned and have been disappointed so many times they don’t know what hope is…and if, as we help them, we continue to look at them as “victims,” that’s what they will believe they are. As children we could be told a multitude of things as we grew up…and we believed everything. We didn’t know how to discern our own truth from someone else’s truth or hurt, we had no boundaries so we took all of this on ourselves. What these clients need now is validation, someone to help them see that they matter, to make them feel accepted, loved and appreciated.

So what happens if we do everything we can to offset those “victim” stories and other negative untruths with a message of empowerment? Day after day we, as volunteers, spread a message of hope that our clients aren’t their surroundings, or what has happened to them. They aren’t the negative messages. We help them break the codependent cycle. We show our clients they get to choose the way they think about themselves, show them that they are love, loved and lovable and that they have value. Teach them how to love themselves and have self-worth and boundaries. We stop the cycle…of violence, of emotional abuse, of neglect, and replace it with love, hope, support and empowerment.
