Helping Victims Become Resilient Readers

Copper Shores Victim Support will soon launch a new book club to offer support to adults navigating the healing journey through literature. Victim Support Advocate Rachel Lamppa says that Copper Shores wants to look for more ways to help victims after they make first contact with the agency and refer them to resources in the region.
