Women with Scars: Strength in the Storm
Presented by The Betty Center & Autumn Ka’ree Photography in support of The Young Foundation
About the Exhibit
Women With Scars is a powerful photo gallery celebrating local women whose scars - both visible and invisible - have shaped them into strong, resilient, and inspiring individuals.
Photographer and artist Autumn Ka’ree has documented each woman’s brave legacy and woven them into a powerful gallery showcasing the pieces of each woman that may be marked by adversity but never (ever) broken.
This exhibit honors women who have faced heartbreak, illness, disability, trauma, addiction, domestic violence, and self-harm. Though life has left its mark, these women have chosen courage, integrity, and hope, bringing light to others simply by being their most authentic selves.
Her Scars. Her Story. Her In-Perfection.
Where to See the Gallery:
Saturday, March 7 — Tuesday, March 31

Looking for Support on Your Healing Journey?
If this exhibit brings up emotions, memories, or a desire to explore your own experiences more deeply, support is available.
For first responders, the impact of the job often follows you home, affecting your nervous system, relationships, and sense of self. Our therapist, Dina Tsihlas, LCSW-C, offers EMDR therapy to help process trauma and support healing.
You can explore her insights and resources through her blog or watch her videos to learn more about her approach for first responders and their families.

As part of this project, donations are being accepted to support our friends at The Young Foundation, a local not-for-profit created to honor the life and legacy of Cpl. Myron Young. Together with his wife, he built Level Up Lifestyle, rooted in the belief that true strength comes when physical health and mental health walk side by side.
Your contribution will help The Young Foundation continue its work supporting first responders, raising mental health awareness, reducing stigma, and preventing suicide within the community.
