I teach at an alternative school for teenage students with severe emotional behavioral disabilities. I have two female students who I think would greatly benefit from this DVD. Thank you for offering this.

I watched 'Just Yell Fire', and told my form tutor at school about it. It's now going to be shown to everyone in the school, and hopefully they will show their friends at other schools as well. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone involved in the program for creating it; I know several people who have been in similar situations to those shown on the video, and they appreciate so much that something is finally being done to raise awareness of it, so that others will not be so unfortunate.
Thank you so much for taking this issue to heart and acting on it! I am a rape survivor. 26 years later I am the wife of a minister and mother of 5 - two of them girls. I was sitting at my desk today with my back to the TV. It was really only on for "ambient noise". I was engrossed in my task at hand - literally making my written plan for a group I am starting for survivors of sexual abuse and rape. When I heard your segment on the Montel show today my blood ran cold at the divine timing. (Obviously your appearance on this date in July was a second run) I can't describe the feeling of empowerment I had listening to you girls! I am humbled by your passion for your mission. Perhaps I didn't know what to do all those years ago but my daughters will- thanks to strong young women like you! And for those of us (and we are many) who have lived with this horrible crime I will continue to share my story so that other women can regain their lives.
You young ladies have my utmost admiration and respect for your commitment to protecting other girls like Carly Bruscia and the countless others who don't make the national news. May God bless you richly for your compassion. You have certainly used the gifts He has given you for His glory!
When I was 13 I was brutally raped, I thought I was going to die- and I should have died. I managed to get away somehow- then about a year or two later he attacked me again in my High school. I was wondering if I could get a copy of this so I could bring it to my high school- and so I could share it with my friends.
Thank you so much for what you are doing- it is amazing. Please, keep up the work- and I will help spread the word.
We want to thank you both so much for the JYF Program on May 7th in Albion. The students loved being a part of the program and learning how to protect themselves. I heard back from many of the 5th grade girls about watching the movie with their parents and that they feel better knowing how to stay safe. I also heard back from a few parents thanking us for offering a program like this to our students. Our staff is looking forward to being trained in August with you and we hope that all of our girls from 5-12 grade will be offered self-defense and we can generate more discussion about this important topic. Thank you for also meeting with the girls for lunch, signing books and being so understanding.
Thanks alot. You should be really proud of your daughter (I'm sure you are). She and her friend have probably saved lives of girls everywhere. I am going to show all my friends the dvd (I'm a mini distributor, LOL). It's very important to know how to defend yourself! I hope you can pass on my thanks to them and say I really admire what they are doing!
I have a 14 yr-old daughter, I read about this website & dvd in a magazine. I must commend you. When I was in high school, we didn't really call it "date rape". I was pressured into sex, I got pregnant, he then proceeded to tell everyone in the high school I was a big whore (sorry for the language). I was so humiliated I dropped out of school and moved out of town. It took years for me to come to terms with it. I want to prevent this from happening to my daughter. Thank You
I'm the Exec. Assist. at the Sexual Assault Survivors' Centre Sarnia-Lambton, in Sarnia Ontario. I saw the article in the latest issue of In Touch.
We are always searching for quality, up-to-date resources for our clients. Thank you very much - believe me, this DVD will help the many clients we have coming into our centre.
My 17 year old daughter and I have watched your movie Just Yell Fire. It is an excellent movie and is very powerful. My daughter was a Victim of sexual abuse at age 10. I think your movie may have prevented that from happening.
Thanks again for putting this movie out to our young woman.

Katherine and Dallas, I am very proud of the effort you have made to make all of this a reality.
