MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Sexual Abuse Prevention Awareness Treatment Healing Coalition (SA PATH) of NWO is to work to eliminate all forms of child sexual abuse and sexual violence and to advocate for the rights and needs of survivors and co-survivors in northwest Ohio. |
The Sexual Abuse Prevention Awareness Treatment Healing (SA PATH) Coalition of NWO was formulated in December 2009 following 3 Community Forums hosted by Nirvana Now! in October, November and December of that same year. It was at the December Community Forum, under the guidance of Executive Business Coach Heather Bradley, of the Flourishing Company, that those in attendance determined a formal organization should be developed totally dedicated to ending all forms of sexual abuse/violence in NWO. The Mission and Purpose of SA PATH was established. Membership in SA PATH is free and open to any organization or individual interested in working toward the eradication of all forms of sexual violence, assuring ongoing assistance is available for child and adult survivors and co-survivors, and offering of educational and supportive opportunities are available to those who work in the field is provided. There are a variety of Creativity Circles that address the focus of the Coalition where ongoing input is needed. They include Legal, Media, Technology, Resource Guide, First Responder Protocol, Treatment & Ongoing Healing, Prevention & Awareness, and Administration. The efforts of the Creativity Circles is driven by the definition of Creativity: To Cause Into Being That (which is) Not Made By Ordinary Processes. Something Unique That Would Not Normally Evolve. |
