SURVIVED: Jaycee Dugard
11-year-old Jaycee Dugard was abducted as she was walking to school in June of 1991. No one would see her again for 18 years, until two campus police officers did what parole and police officers couldn’t. But her story isn’t just one of survival – it’s one of strength, resiliency, and life after tragedy.
- You can check out how you can support Jaycee and Dr. Bailey’s amazing work in helping other survivors of extreme trauma by visiting The JAYC Foundation and Polyvagal Equine Institute.
