Creating support groups for adult women survivors of childhood sexual abuse and assault
The 1 in 3 Foundation cultivates programs in the community to support recovery and provide an outlet for women still healing from childhood sexual abuse and assault. Often times women are not aware their sexual abuse trauma is directly related to their behaviors as adults and how it impacts every aspect of their relationships with others. The 1 in 3 Foundation will help to link survivors in a pattern of “acting out” with counselors, literature and organized support groups to help break the cycle.
It is the intention of the 1 in 3 Foundation to provide funding for new programs and activities for women survivors of childhood sexual abuse or sexual assault not in existence or not formally established in Smith County, Texas.
The focus of the 1 in 3 Foundation is the healing journey of survivors as they enter various stages of life and providing resources, tools and support to cope with daily emotional and physical demands.

According to the Sexual Abuse Recovery Center, because sexual abuse is a traumatic experience, self-medication often seems like a preferable option to seeking help. This can lead to sex and love addiction, alcohol abuse and drug use. The 1 in 3 Foundation will help to link survivors in a pattern of “acting out” with counselors, literature and organized support groups to help break the cycle. Victims may be embarrassed or afraid to seek counseling or medical treatment and it will be the highest priority of the 1 in 3 Foundation to protect the anonymity of those it serves.
The 1 in 3 Foundations support systems focus not only on the healing journey itself
but also to allow survivors to live a free, vibrant and hopeful life
no longer shackled to the trauma of the abuse.
