The Center’s Resource Council is composed of individuals who have worked tirelessly to overcome the trauma of domestic violence and sexual assault, are in the process of getting on with our lives, and are eager to “give back”.
Our mission is threefold:
To educate others through our experiences as survivors
To advocate for the laws, rights, and services necessary to keep survivors and our families safe and secure
To empower survivors and others to improve the quality of life of victims of domestic violence and sexual assault
