HEALING STARTS IN COMMUNITY
Our programmatic offerings provide a safe space to heal, connect and grow in community. It’s where survivors can explore their needs, prioritize wellness, and take essential steps in their healing journeys.

Survivor’s Sanctuary
During Sexual Assault Awareness Month in April, we dedicated our efforts to moving beyond awareness and into healing in action. Navigating systems and services that fall short of seeing us as fully human, especially when we live inside of bodies that have been historically oppressed, re-triggers us and disconnects us from our sense of worth. The work of healing can seem even more daunting when there are so few resources that are accessible, customizable, and culturally competent.
That’s why we were proud to introduce one of our biggest offerings to date, Survivor’s Sanctuary. This free, digital and self-guided healing platform launched with 36 healing lessons from BIPOC wellness practitioners and survivors whose experiences profoundly shape their philosophy and methods for healing. Whether participants are just starting on their healing journey or looking for new tools to deepen their process, Survivor’s Sanctuary meets survivors where they are with varied levels of engagement based on mind, body, and integrative approaches. Survivors can move at their own pace, rate lessons allowing them to shape the offerings of Survivor’s Sanctuary, and create a healing journey that they can access anywhere and at any time.
Ensuring survivors have access to Survivor’s Sanctuary is critical to its success. As a part of its launch, we created digital advertisements illustrating the impact the platform can have on a survivor’s healing journey.
Survivor Healing Series: Count It All Joy
During Black History Month, we uplifted Black joy as resistance and its transformative power in healing survivors, communities, and our global society. Beginning with an Instagram Live featuring the ‘me too.’ team, followed by three workshops, including The Pleasure Portal (exploring pleasure as a healing practice for survivors) and Recipes and Rituals for Healing (exploring the healing power of food and ritual).
