Programs & Initiatives
Our Programs
At Not4gotten, we offer specialized programs designed to support survivors of violence and abuse at different stages of their recovery journey. Our programs cut across advocacy, capacity enhancement, and empowerment for survivors of violence and abuse. These include the following:
Coffee and connection
This is a drop- in service where survivors can come into our offices for connection. There is no obligation to talk about anything till their ready to do so. We will provide a safe therapeutic and culturally appropriate trauma-informed environment for them to seek help.
- No pressure, no obligation – Survivors can come in just to be in a safe space without having to talk about their experiences until they feel ready.
- A trauma-informed, supportive, and healing environment, designed to encourage emotional safety and comfort.
- Staff and volunteers are available to listen, offer guidance, and provide referrals to additional support services.
Power Groups
Space for survivors of violence and abuse to come and learn healthy coping strategies to enhance their mental and physical wellness. For those who require trauma or addiction treatment, we will provide linkages to additional services in their communities.
