I've been either a board member or the treasurer of Shepherd's Counseling Services for a decade now. I continue to support the organization with both my time and money because it provides such an important service to our community: low-cost, specialized treatment for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Shepherd's also advocates for adult survivors by sponsoring community awareness events and educates our community about the profound impact of childhood sexual abuse by sending speakers to public and professional forums. Our service revenue grew 22% in 2012. That percentage is a stark reminder of the need for our services. The news headlines also highlight just how entrenched and common the problem is in our society. i will continue to support Shepherd's in it's goal of turning the light on childhood sexual abuse.
I have been a board member for Shepherd’s Counseling since 2010. The environment and culture of this organization is a conduit for healing. For the past 25 years, Shepherd’s has sustained a peaceful safe sanctuary for staff, volunteers, and clients alike. It continues to provide thoughtful, compassionate, and affordable long-term therapy for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse in addition to continuing to be a leader in the community to raise awareness of childhood sexual abuse.
