Services We Provide & What We Do

SURVIVORS SPEAK RI is an educational and advocacy organization consisting of survivors of child molestation, adult sexual assault and domestic violence. We are the experts who are ready to talk to your organization about sexual assault and domestic violence. A text book will never offer what we can, because we have lived it. Our survival and understanding, from our perspective will demonstrate to your organization the true faces of courageous survivors.

SURVIVORS SPEAK RI'S philosophy is to directly engage our audience as we communicate with them on a more personal level. Our speakers are dynamic, powerful and strong. We will take you with us on our journey from victim to survivor. You will gain a deeper knowledge of the long term effects of sexual assault and domestic violence. You will see what strength and determination can emerge from unthinkable trauma.
