Review for The Hope of Survivors, Burleson, TX, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The Hope of Survivors has been a tremendous support and help to me personally when I experienced the trauma of clergy sexual abuse. The hope and healing they provide is invaluable. I am now a victim support volunteer who works with THOS reaching out to victims of all denominations, in many different countries, who are also going through CSA. It is very important to have an organization such as THOS that is so readily available to women, men and teens who have no other place to turn to. They offer hours of free counselling to hundreds and no one is ever turned away. Since the founders of The Hope of Survivors, as well as many of the volunteers, have personally experienced the devastation of clergy sexual abuse they understand the deep dynamics of this misunderstood and particular abuse. I highly recommend them!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

when I see the help and healing victims get when they reach out to The Hope of Survivors.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

(1) A much needed healing centre where victims can initially go to when they first get out of the abuse. (2) More conferences to reach out to victims in person, as well as, educate the church on clergy sexual abuse. (3) Financial help to cover costs of many materials that are handed and mailed out free of charge.

Would you volunteer for this group again?

Definitely
