New Year, Same Mission: Why Survivors Still Need Us in 2026
Reflecting on our impact and recommitting to the work ahead.
As 2026 begins, our team at V.O.I.C.E.S. Against Sexual Assault is not slowing down. The need for trauma-informed care, safe healing spaces, and survivor advocacy is as urgent as ever. And while the calendar has flipped, our mission remains steady:
To empower survivors, break the silence, and bridge the critical gap in aftercare.
What We Accomplished Together in 2025
Thanks to the support of our donors, volunteers, and community partners, 2025 was a year of powerful growth and life-changing impact:
We ran 4 full Healing Voices programs; three for women and our first official program for male survivors
We hosted 3 in-person healing retreats, helping survivors reconnect with their bodies, stories, and strength
We provided direct, no-cost therapeutic and coaching services to 26 survivors
These numbers are more than just milestones, they represent 26 individuals who said yes to healing, yes to their voice, and yes to the next chapter of their journey.
🚀 What’s Ahead for January 2026
We’re starting the year strong. This January, we’re launching:
A Men’s Healing Voices Program, tailored specifically to male survivors in a safe, trauma-informed space
A Women’s Healing Voices Program, continuing our core 10-week model that integrates therapy, coaching, and survivor community
These two programs will run separately, allowing each group to process, grow, and heal in ways that honor their lived experiences.
Every survivor deserves to be seen, heard, and supported. This is where that begins.
⚠️ Why Survivors Still Need VOICES in 2026
Even with our growing reach, countless survivors in our community still go without long-term support. Many face:
A lack of affordable, trauma-informed care
Shame or silence, especially among men, veterans, or survivors of marital/partner rape
Limited access to aftercare—programs that go beyond crisis response
That’s why VOICES exists, not just to help survivors survive, but to help them heal, grow, and thrive.
