Our Mission

The mission of CARE is to provide hope, healing, and empowerment to all survivors of sexual violence and their loved ones through Counseling, Advocacy, Resources and Education. 

COUNSELING

We employ licensed therapists who have specialized training in working with victim-survivors and their loved ones who have been affected by sexual violence. For a period of time, all therapy services are free of charge.

ADVOCACY

We strive to advocate for victim-survivors through collaboration, choice and empowerment. We support all victim survivors in their goals for healing by offering information, education, resources, respect and cultural competency. 

RESOURCES

We provide trauma-informed, victim-survivor centered approach to care coordination.  We provide support for those using mental health, social, medical, police and legal services.  

EDUCATION

We strive to educate our clients and the community on a multitude of topics, including the impact of trauma on the mind and body, individualized self-care and healthy coping strategies.  We educate on a victim-survivor’s legal and medical rights, options and offer guidance through the process related to their case.
