Fortnation Fall Fundraiser September 2023

We had so much fun teaming up with Fortnation to create a fun family night for the community. Where families built forts together for a movie night in the Sugarhouse park. Participants came with their blankets, picked up their fort kits and then enjoyed bounce houses, games, face painting, performers and treats until the movie began.

It was a beautiful night where families and friends spent time enjoying each others company. We love events like these that bring families together and help create long lasting relationships and we would love to host an event like this again. Raising money should be fun for all parties especially the donors. Comment below if this is an event that you would enjoy and love to see us host again.

Some of our favorite SELF-help books!

Seeking mental health after leaving polygamy, in the beginning, is often in the form of our own research through "self-help" books that help us process our traumatic pasts. Some of these books even help us retrain our brain in different ways to learn skills we did not get to learn in polygamy. For many of us, books were a stepping stone into accepting professional mental health and also prepare us to socially interact with people in a better way. Knowing this, and knowing many of our fellow ex-polygamists and ex-cult members are on this journey of self-discovery and beliefs, we each wanted to share 3 of the most impactful books in our lives and how they helped us. “Hopefully this will inspire some of you on similar journeys to have a good list to start your personal mental health transition.” - Hope After Polygamy
