Hello, Welcome to the Rising Phoenix page.
The Rising Phoenix is a core group of individuals who's goals are to educate, make an impact, and inspire change for the greater good. We are entertainers. We are inspired by the story of the Phoenix and reflect on it to gain strength in our own endeavors.
OUR GOAL
To meet a financial goal to help provide financial relief
This years proceeds will go to local organizations that support Men, Women and Children who suffer from violence in their homes. What kind of life are we living if we can not even go home and feel safe. The only way to ensure the safety of our community and the people who live in it is to protect them, teach them that life does not need to be this way and give them hope for a better day. Lets not forget about the abuser as well. No issues will be solved if we just lock these people up and release them months later. We need to help these people as well. They need counseling, they need to understand how to control their behavior. Violence is a vicious cycle that is passed down from one root to another. Please join us to make a difference in our community and to help stop the violence.
Domestic violence and emotional abuse are behaviors used by one person in a relationship to control the other. Partners may be married or not married; heterosexual, gay, or lesbian; living together, separated or dating.Examples of abuse include:* name-calling or putdowns
* keeping a partner from contacting their family or friends
* withholding money
* stopping a partner from getting or keeping a job
* actual or threatened physical harm
* sexual assault
* stalking
* intimidationViolence can be criminal and includes physical assault (hitting, pushing, shoving, etc.), sexual abuse (unwanted or forced sexual activity), and stalking. Although emotional, psychological and financial abuse are not criminal behaviors, they are forms of abuse and can lead to criminal violence.The violence takes many forms and can happen all the time or once in a while. An important step to help yourself or someone you know in preventing or stopping violence is recognizing the warning signs listed on the "Violence Wheel."ANYONE CAN BE A VICTIM! Victims can be of any age, sex, race, culture, religion, education, employment or marital status. Although both men and women can be abused, most victims are women. Children in homes where there is domestic violence are more likely to be abused and/or neglected. Most children in these homes know about the violence. Even if a child is not physically harmed, they may have emotional and behavior problems.If you are being abused, REMEMBER1. You are not alone
2. It is not your fault
3. Help is available
