Happy 18th Anniversary to Making Daughters Safe Again! We had another great year of service to our members, research and educating others. MDSA remains one of the longest running (since 1999) online support communities, and we celebrated 10 years of in-person therapeutic events this year! Thank you to everyone who has made this organization possible.

Congratulations to MDSA intern, Amanda Aynes, who graduated with honors with her BA In Psychology from Monmouth University. Amanda has been a fabulous intern for 2 years. We will miss her, but can't wait to see what she does with her many gifts!

We had an indescribably awesome retreat this weekend! Thank you to the extraordinary women who completed an amazing body of work. Their commitment to their healing - from traveling far distances to attend, to daring to be vulnerable - is inspirational.

The them for this year's retreat centered around the heart. Here are some "love jars" and a group heart mosaic stepping stone.

Registration is currently open to MDSA members and will be opening soon to other survivors of mother-daughter sexual abuse.

Please note: Because survivors come from all over the U.S. and sometimes other countries, we keep retreat costs low and have been able to offer full scholarships through donations. if you'd like to make a donation to the Retreat Scholarship Fund to assist a survivor in having a life-changing healing experience, please contact us at the email above. Thank you!

Making Daughters Safe Again (MDSA) is celebrating our 17th Anniversary today! We had a GREAT year conducting research, traveling to train other professionals, mentoring interns, educating others, and most of all, supporting our members, survivors of mother-daughter sexual abuse, through our online community and in-person workshops and annual retreat. Throughout our history, we have supported survivors from 7 different countries and every state in the U.S. Congratulations to our all-volunteer staff for their passion and dedication, and thank you to our members who inspire us every day.

Registration has opened for the 8th Annual Retreat for survivors of mother-daughter sexual abuse at the Jersey Shore from April 29-May 1, 2016. Spend a weekend healing, learning, creating new memories, and chatting with new friends as the sun sets over the beach. "Life-changing", "turning point in my healing" and "like home" are three popular ways that attendants describe their experiences.

Priority registration is currently underway for previous attendants. We also have a 5 hour workshop coming up on February 21st from 12-5pm in Long Branch, NJ. If you're a survivor and would like more information about either event, please email assistant@mdsa-online.org.
