As the new year approaches, there’s still time to begin it with purpose.

Every day, survivors of s*xual violence turn to The Rowan Center for support—and our Certified Advocates are often the first voice they hear. As we step into a new year, we’re inviting new advocates to join this community of care and help ensure no survivor has to face that moment alone.

Our next Advocate Training begins in January and includes:

📚 Classes every Tuesday and Thursday, 5:30–8:30 p.m., for three weeks
🎧 Weekly self-paced modules with recordings, readings, and assignments
📲 Mock call practice to build real-world skills and confidence

If you’ve been thinking about how to give your time in a way that truly matters, this is a meaningful place to start the year.

Healing from trauma takes time, and your year-end gift can help make that journey possible for a survivor.

At The Rowan Center, our Trauma Recovery Clinic offers a safe, supportive place to begin healing with our therapists for anyone 18+ with HUSKY insurance. Thanks to generous community support, we were able to double the clinic’s size this year, allowing us to meet the growing needs of communities throughout Connecticut. To be part of changing someone’s life — to help offer the opportunity to heal from trauma — is extraordinary, and we are so grateful that we are able to do this work.

The need continues to grow, and so we are asking our supporters to stand with us once again. Your gift ensures that every survivor who reaches out to us can access the care they deserve, without delay and without barriers, to those who need it the most.
