Our Mission

Project S.A.V.E.'s mission is to provide people recovering from trauma support as well as an open space to heal. We educate and advocate, working to combat sexual and domestic violence wherever it lies. Because everyone is unique, we believe in treatments tailored to individuals’ needs.

 

Our Impact

Project S.A.V.E was founded in 2016 and is a volunteer-run organization dedicated to being a one-stop site. Project S.A.V.E services are free and open to men, women, ages 18 & older (we have certain groups for children). Our area of focus includes work in sexual and domestic violence as well as mental health services. Dealing with such trauma can bring many emotions that one may not know how to process. Project S.A.V.E thrives on "Education. Advocacy. Community." Here at Project S.A.V.E individuals are never alone, there is always someone available for support.

Our Programs

Project S.A.V.E has designed its organization from a person-first approach. Person-first ensures that we are serving our memberrs effectively by acknowledging and integrating their nationality, ethnicity, religion, spirituality, gender, gender identity or expression, language capability, sexual orientation, etc. in the delivery of services. Members seeking services at Project S.A.V.E are able to choose from an array of services. Members are able to choose as little or as many services as they would like.

Each service incorporates each of our organization's goals.

*Please note: each service may have different requirements.

Young Yogis

Goal: Education & Community

Young Yogis is a version of our Yoga program but for school-aged kids. Yoga is known to improve both physical and mental health in school-age children (ages 6 to 12). Yoga is also known to improve balance, strength, endurance, and aerobic capacity in children. Yoga and mindfulness offer psychological benefits for children as well.

Peer support

Goal: Community & Advocacy

Peer support workers are people who have been successful in the recovery process and help others experiencing similar situations. Through shared understanding, respect, and mutual empowerment, peer support workers help people become and stay engaged in the recovery process and reduce the likelihood of relapse.

Trauma-Informed Yoga

Goal: Education, Community, Advocacy

Trauma-informed yoga is based on a particular understanding of trauma, one that can emphasize its impact on the entire mind-body system, as opposed to particular mental states which can be viewed in isolation from the physical body.

“People don’t think it’s prevalent, but it happens a lot. It’s not just for one gender. It’s not just to one age group,”
