Promoting healing through compassionate and collaborative services to all affected by sexual harm.

12/23/2025

For many in our community, the holiday season brings warmth, connection, and rest. But we also recognize that this time of year can be especially difficult for survivors of trauma. Whether you are navigating complicated feelings, seeking safety, or simply doing your best to get through the season, we see you. You are not alone. Our 24/7 Crisis Hotline is available by talk or text at 540-434-2272.

At the same time, we are grateful for our dedicated staff who show up every day to support children and families. The holidays offer a much-needed opportunity for them to rest, recharge, and return renewed for the important work ahead.

As we close out the year, we hold space for both hope and healing — and we remain committed to serving our community with compassion in the coming year.

✨ Wishing everyone moments of peace and care this holiday season.✨

While we’re away, our 24/7 crisis hotline remains open to support anyone in need: (540) 434-2272.

In observance of Juneteenth, our office will be closed on Thursday, June 19. If you need support, our 24/7 crisis hotline remains available for talk and text at (540) 434-2272.

We recognize that the legacy of racial injustice continues to impact the experiences of Black survivors of sexual violence and child abuse. Barriers to safety, healing, and justice persist. Honoring Juneteenth means acknowledging those truths—and recommitting to building services and systems that are equitable, trauma-informed, and rooted in dignity. Freedom is not just the absence of violence and harm; it is the presence of safety, voice, and healing. We stand with all survivors and continue working toward a future where no one is silenced or left behind.

These are full-time, salaried roles (with benefits) based in Harrisonburg, VA and with some travel to Luray, VA.

Both positions require professional proficiency in English and Spanish.
