Community Education

In keeping with the mission and philosophy of Verity, our Prevention Education Department aims to increase our community’s awareness of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and child abuse.

We present prevention strategies and intervention advice through classroom and community presentations. All presentations are tailored to each individual group, are available in English and Spanish, and free of charge. We believe education is key to eliminating sexual violence from our community.

Black Americans Have Been Change Makers Long Before #Metoo

Black Americans Have Been Change Makers Long Before #Metoo

“The history of the rape crisis movement in the United States is also a history of the struggle of African American women against racism and sexism.” – Gillian Greensite
February is Black History month – a time for us to celebrate, highlight, and honor the contributions of Black Americans – something essential we should do not only the second month of the year, but every day of the year.

Listening and Being There: A Revolutionary Act

Listening and Being There: A Revolutionary Act

At Verity, Sonoma County’s Rape Crisis and Healing Center, we are constantly inspired by the power of community support to create positive change. This year’s giving season launches today on “Giving Tuesday” – a holiday celebrating charitable giving. This year, we invite you to make a lasting impact on the lives of survivors by joining Verity’s movement. Donations to Verity provide crucial resources, such as educational programs, crisis intervention, advocacy, and counseling services, ensuring survivors have access to the help they need all year round.

Our Mission

At Verity, we strive to eliminate all forms of violence, with a special focus on sexual assault and abuse. Sexual assault is an unacceptable form of oppression, which is destructive to the lives of the survivors, their families, and their friends.

Online Community Resources

In addition to the services we provide in person and via our crisis line, Verity regularly publishes articles about topics related to trauma, sexual abuse, and community violence. Please check back regularly for new articles, or contact us to suggest a topic that’s important to you. Visit our blog to see more.
