The Rowan Center

The Rowan Center All of our services are available in English, Spanish, and Haitian-Creole and are free of charge.

The Rowan Center began in a trailer behind Stamford hospital, started by a group of volunteers who wanted to help victims of sexual violence. 40 years later, we are an agency of professionals working to help victims and survivors through crises, and delivering prevention education to nearly 20,000 people a year. Our services include: 24-hour crisis hotlines, individual crisis counseling, support/e

At The Rowan Center's Trauma Recovery Practice, the treatment you receive is unique to you, just as your experience of your trauma is. Our clinicians work from the understanding that trauma can affect different people differently, from how they feel in their bodies, how they relate to others, and how safe the world feels.

We offer long-term, trauma-informed therapy for adults in English, Spanish, and French. We accept HUSKY and will be accepting other insurances soon. Please visit therowancenter.org/traumarecoverypractice to learn more and connect with our team.

It's National Women's Health Weekā€”an annual observance that "encourages women of all ages to prioritize their physical, mental, and emotional well-being."

This year's themeā€”"Prevention, Innovation, and Impact"ā€”feels especially important to The Rowan Center, as we work to prevent sexual violence, innovate new solutions and modalities to better serve survivors, and commit to lasting impact in our communities.

Together, we are making our world healthier for women and healthier for all.
