Our mission is to empower survivors of Military Sexual Trauma (MST) with resources, community, and better access to healing. Our goal is to support military community members who may be suffering in the aftermath of MST, as well as to educate and support family members on how to help their loved ones through such a difficult trauma. We also aim to raise awareness of the pervasiveness of this issue in order to create a more supportive and understanding community. We would be honored to be a part of your healing journey.
