About us
There is a vital need for culturally sensitive support and essential resources that foster healing for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence in underserved populations. Shining Light In Darkness Foundation (SLID) is committed to seeing a world free from domestic violence (DV) and sexual assault (SA). SLID works to stop the cycle of domestic violence and sexual assault and its impact through support, education, and advocacy. We believe every survivor of sexual assault and domestic violence is worthy of hope and healing. And we envision a world where every survivor is seen, heard, and supported, so they can feel empowered. So, we’re committed to caring deeply for those in underserved communities so they can heal and rebuild their lives. SLID knows that everyone heals differently. We find the most effective way for victims and survivors to recover from their trauma. We provide holistic healing services and educational programs for raising awareness and prevention. We work with schools, universities, churches, and private groups to bring our DV/SA Curriculum and other programs to local organizations and students. Our services are free and confidential. Our organization serves victims and survivors with emotional support, legal and medical information, and referrals to other community agencies. We provide a variety of support groups for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors. Inspired by our founder's experience dealing with domestic violence and sexual assault, we know that every person heals differently. We believe that all survivors should be seen, heard, and supported to have the opportunity to heal. We are an IRS 501c3 designated public charity (filed as of 2014), and OUR TAX ID NUMBER IS 47-2120872.
