the vba difference

Survivor-Centered Approach: Our licensed professionals work closely with survivors to develop and deliver programs that address the real needs of those who have experienced assault, informed by lived experience.

Supporting Those Who Serve:
We recognize that healing includes everyone – from survivors to the first responders and service workers who are there in critical moments.

CommUNITY Wide Transformation:
We build stronger, more compassionate communities through education, support, and understanding – because healing happens together.

Transformative Workshops:
Our specialized workshops provide a safe, structured space for healing – moving beyond traditional support group formats to meet each person’s unique needs.

BREAKING TRADITIONAL BOUNDARIES

Healing looks good on you. You are seen. You are heard. You are believed. You are safe here.

Together We Heal

Survivorship in Action

At Voices Beyond Assault, we stand firm in our belief that true healing and empowerment can only be achieved through radical inclusion and intersectionality. These principles are not just ideals – they are the lifeblood of our organization, infusing every program, initiative, and interaction.
