Forming Community to Heal and Prevent Child Sexual Abuse
We will create a cohort of BIPOC LGBTQI+ child sexual abuse survivors working within direct service and advocacy nonprofits in LA County to break isolation and silence, heal together, and receive training and technical assistance to address the endemic rates of child sexual abuse survivorship among their clients and community members. Mirror Memoirs is one of the only organizations empowering advocates to name connections between child sexual abuse and other forms of systemic and historical violence and take action to address this violence.

Leave No Child Sexual Abuse Survivor Behind
We will train BIPOC LGBTQI+ child sexual abuse survivors working within direct service and advocacy nonprofits in LA County to ensure their organizations begin to address the endemic rates of child sexual abuse survivorship among their clients and community members.
