Empowering survivors of sexual crimes to find their voice, advance their healing and educate others.
Education | Prevention | Advocacy | Support
Duty Trumps Doubt™
Changing perspectives through our trauma-informed video and survivor-led presentations specifically designed to help law enforcement, medical personnel, legal professionals and society as a whole, to better understand victims of sexual crimes.
“Everyone was highly impacted by your stories. The team definitely wants to continue our partnership moving forward.”
Survivors Speak®
Empowering survivors to share their stories through specialized professional training in public speaking and team building, allowing them to advance their own healing while helping to educate audiences of all kinds.
“Being part of the Survivors Speak team lets me feel a sense of community. We are connected in so many ways…body, mind and soul. I’ve found people like me. The perpetrator took away my innocence, but he can never take away my spirit.”
Community Outreach and Advocacy
Engaging individuals in the community, in the legislature, at businesses, corporations and organizations to work together to create real and meaningful change.
“We all have a role to play…remember this is personal, there is no such thing as ‘not in my neighborhood.’ Sexual crimes affect us all; our mothers, our fathers, our sisters, our brothers, our friends, our co-workers and our children.”
Safe Student Initiative®
Educating students from middle school to college through age-appropriate, survivor-led interactive programs including safe and unsafe touch, sexual respect, healthy relationships, consent, bystander intervention and rape culture.
“Our students were moved by how brave the speakers were for sharing their personal stories. Hearing from survivors firsthand will have a lasting impact.”
Escape Alive
Survival Skills®
Training women and girls to stay safe physically, emotionally and intellectually through personal prevention strategies, confidence-building skills, awareness tips, and kick, strike and blow techniques.
“I can’t say enough great things about this program. I attended with two friends and our daughters and we couldn’t stop talking about what an amazing experience it was. To say we walked away feeling empowered is an understatement. Thank you for giving us an afternoon we will never forget. ”
