Our Mission
‘We are committed to improving the lives of survivors of sexual and domestic violence through high quality support services designed to make recovery, health, and wellness more accessible.’
We know we have big goals…
How Do We Meet Them?
Financial Aid
At Survivor Shield, our goal is to make life more accessible for survivors of sexual and domestic violence. That's why we work tirelessly at streamlining access to vital resources, including healthcare, therapy, prescription drugs, food, water, and shelter. Through Survivor Shield's fast, easy, and confidential application process, we ensure that all survivors gain access to essential financial aid. To date, we have injected thousands of dollars into our communities, offering a lifeline to those who need it most.
Free Peer Support
Mental health support can be hard to find as a survivor, especially free support. That’s why we’re committed to bringing access to free peer support to survivors. The Pathways Program encourages survivors to seek one on one support from someone who’s been where they are. All in an environment that is truly free of cost, pressure, and judgement.
Free Essentials
Tragically, countless survivors are left homeless or struggling to make ends meet after an assault. At Survivor Shield, we work to ensure that burden is alleviated and all survivors have a shot. We provide access to free clothes, shoes, hygienic products and other essentials. To some survivors, access to these products makes all the difference.
Survivor Shield is proud to perform a great deal of general advocacy on behalf of survivors. On top of connecting survivors with free and accessible legal resources, we meet with elected officials and governments to ensure that laws change to advance the rights of survivors.
Advocacy
We will change the world, but first we need your help.
Your donations and individual activism can help us push our goals forward to success.
