All children need to feel safe and supported. They should be able to trust those closest to them. When children are sexually abused by someone they know, it breaks that trust and leaves them traumatized and vulnerable.

Survivors Healing Center is a welcoming place for survivors of child sexual abuse and their allies. Their mission is to empower survivors of sexual abuse to reach out, get support and heal from the trauma inflicted on them. The ultimate goal is to prevent sexual abuse of children and youth through community outreach and education.

Healing is possible and Survivors Healing Center is here to help. Support groups are offered for women, men, teens, mothers of survivors and partners of survivors in both English and Spanish in Santa Cruz and in Watsonville. Sereno Group is proud to support the commitment and service that Survivors Healing Center provides to our community.
