We BELIEVE Survivors! It is not up to the public to decide the validity of a survivor’s experiences.

Regardless of the facts of a particular case, the ongoing focus of media coverage can be distressing for all survivors of sexual abuse. If you are an adult survivor of child sexual abuse, We BELIEVE You and are here for you. Reach out to our 24/7 Call and Text Helpline at 866-685-1122 for supportive listening, safety planning, or connection to our compassionate services.

To ensure essential services and show that YOU BELIEVE, please give at safe-sound.org/donate.

With the rise of AI, it is important to protect survivors from new ways harm-doers inflict abuse. Laws like this must continue to be passed as technology expands in its capabilities and reach. No type of abuse, including online abuse, is ever okay.

Jessica Fernandez is a longtime ambassador for Safe + Sound Somerset, but we first knew her as a survivor. Jessica reached out to us years ago when she was dealing with abuse.

We live in a culture of violence, which normalizes horrific situations such as sexual violence. Everyone deserves to feel safe and be safe. We envision a community free from domestic and sexual violence, where individuals and families thrive in body, mind, and spirit.

Survivor input is what keeps our services improving. We believe survivors are experts in their own lives, and this is why we created this 5-minute, ANONYMOUS survey. It will allow us to collect lived experiences to improve services and community resources. Call or text our 24/7 helpline for more information at 866-685-1122.

Any survivor of domestic and/or sexual violence who is not 18+ living in Somerset County, NJ can participate.

We are dealing with a loss of $1-1.5 million in federal funding cuts in the next year that will impact our ability to serve survivors.

YOU can make a difference by organizing a fundraiser or gift card.

The fundraising toolkit includes different opportunities for fundraising and sample emails, social media posts, and graphics to help you get started.

We are always looking for partners – individuals, clubs and groups, and businesses – to help us help survivors by raising funds and collecting gift cards.
Email kcantwell@safe-sound.org with any questions or if you need additional information.

This is why we have educational outreach initiatives to teach students about healthy relationships. In fact, 3,830 Middle and High School Students learned tools and skills promoting healthy relationships and behaviors last year. These courses are not only informational, but they provide students with outlets and resources to reach out to if they need help.

To learn more about how we support survivors and the community, you can read our 2024 Impact Report here: https://bit.ly/3w3TOAh
