STA CARE Center

The STA CARE Center exists because sexual violence exists. Although there is not one face for sexual trauma and abuse, we have the opportunity to use our platform to provide a unified voice for various different experiences to advocate for change. 
Our hope is to destigmatize conversations surrounding sexual violence in community while addressing the core reasons which sustain sexual violence. Though the system responding to survivors is broken, there is opportunity to repair this by using a restorative practice approach, where there is validation of a survivors' experience, and in being a healing centered agency to design what safety feels and looks like to a survivor, exists.
The Sexual Trauma and Abuse CARE Center centers the needs of the survivors in the direction expressed as the best for that individual. 
We believe survivors , and we are here to support survivors.
