It's not your fault
Nothing you did, wore, said, or didn't say makes it your fault.
Survivor Support
You survived.
You survived.
You don't have to heal alone.
If you've experienced domestic violence or sexual assault, what happened was not your fault. We help survivors of every gender get trauma-informed care, at your pace and on your terms.
We get it
What we believe
Every gender
Men and boys are survivors too, and are often the last ones anyone asks. You are welcome here.
Any time
Whether it happened last week or twenty years ago, it's never too late to get support.
Safety first
If you're still in danger, we'll connect you with advocates who can help you plan.
Your privacy
You decide what to share, when, and with whom.
It's complicated
Loving or depending on someone who hurt you doesn't make your pain less real.
Check in with yourself
What you might be feeling
- Trouble sleeping, or nightmares
- Feeling jumpy or on edge
- Feeling numb or disconnected
- Shame or blaming yourself
- Avoiding certain people or places
- Drinking or using more to cope
You don't have to be in crisis to reach out. If a few of these sound familiar, that's reason enough.
How we help
What the Foundation does
- Help covering trauma-focused counseling and psychiatric care
- Connection to local advocates, shelter, and legal help
- Care informed by Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) experience
