1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys sexually abused before the age of 18 is not okay.
We are grateful for:
All the Survivors who bravely met together and shared their wisdom in 2021.
All the persons who attended Ed programs to learn how to prevent child sexual abuse and support survivors.
All the colleagues locally and statewide who joined together to work on advocacy.
We are continually fortified by the demonstrated strength of survivors and those who chose to fight for change when it is hard.
Watch this site for coming events in 2022.

Survivors are often traumatized by routine medical care.
We want providers to do better! We collaborated with survivors, providers and others to produce this new Guide on trauma-informed care for survivors of sexual abuse. The Guide can also be found on the Resources Page of Resilient PA & HEAL PA. |

Our Vision
|
Communities where all children and teens are free from sexual abuse,
and survivors are empowered to live healthy, joyful and vibrant lives. |
Survivors are invited to a new Survivor's Community in Central PA. See Flyer for contact info. |
