BeeTrU - OUR PROJECT
Bee TrU
Speaking at a private event
Bee TrU at its Best
This family structured organization provide the story of the founder’s life as a victim of domestic violence. The founder’s family & friends (support system) share their version of how they assisted the survivor with leaving unhealthy relationships to entering a life of peace and happiness, at her leisure. This approach has been effective during seminars hosted by Bee TrU with an outcome of the participants engaging during the interactive sessions & leaving with new tools associated with recognizing the signs of ABUSE.
