Mission

The mission of Beyond Survival is to eliminate sexual assault/abuse and oppression through education, services and social change. We are committed to serving and empowering all individuals regardless of race, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, socioeconomic status, marital status, pregnancy, veteran status, disability, or any other basis prohibited by federal, state, or local law.

 



Vision
Beyond Survival supports the rights of people to have access to free, quality information, advocacy, crisis intervention, treatment, education and prevention services.  Programs serve survivors, the general public, friends, family and all those whose lives have been affected by sexual assault.  We believe that all survivors of sexual assault should be treated with dignity and respect by all service providers and others in the legal and social network.  We believe that children have an absolute right to safety, non-violence, protection by adults and access to developmentally appropriate intervention and treatment services.  We support the right of adult survivors to make informed choices about reporting, prosecution, pregnancy, future safety and other issues raised by the experience.
