The Saferoom Project Organizational Mission and Goals

Mission Statement

• To provide support to and foster healing in people of all ages, races, cultures, genders, marital status, religious beliefs, sexual orientations, both in online and offline communites.
  

• To provide a place for sexual abuse survivors to see that they are not alone and to instill a positive self worth and desire for wellness.
  

• To provide a support arena for any whose lives have been touched by sexual abuse--from survivors, to supporters of survivors.
  

• To inspire advocacy of issues, needs, interests, and goals important to survivors and their supporters in all affiliated with The Saferoom Project.

Goals

• To create a community of people who are ready and willing to support each other both online and offline.
• To have these rooms moderated by people who are wholly dedicated to stamping out rape and sexual abuse as well as the ramifications it has on ones life.

We plan to meet this goal by creating a network of chat rooms, bulletin boards, and discussion lists, across the World Wide Web, and by publishing a monthly eNewsletter giving details on our support forums, and the greater support community, both online and offline. We will develop programs offline to promote the same mission that we have for our online community. (We will offer diverse upbeat and effective community self-esteem building services, as well as a support network for the communities, themselves.)

Principles

We will do our best to be:

Supportive. We are a community built up by supportive people in which members are encouraged to learn to deal with ALL feelings "good and bad". We want them to learn what there triggers are and how to diminish the effect those triggers have on there daily lives. Our hope is that members can, with the support of other members, learn that they are good, strong capable people. We want them to know they can come to us and not be judged for anything they have felt or have done. We want to build up and in most cases even create self esteem in people who have never had any.

Honest. We are committed to always being honest with people. We want this to be a community in which people learn to speak up for themselves, and share what it is they need, how we can help them and to teach them they do not have to be alone in this journey. We want people to know they have a voice in saying what works and what does not work for themselves and to try and make them feel as safe as one can feel without any confusion or concern.

Fair. We will do our best to be fair and respectful to people involved at all levels of our organization including but not limited to volunteers, members, staff, board, board, donors, etc. We will always be open to listen to any complaints or suggestions for any one within our organization.

Productive. We will use our own time and the time of the people who work with us or who we help, as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Safe. We will do our best to ensure the emotional and physical safety of all members of our organization. We will never intentionally place any member, volunteer or any person associated with our organization in any position where we do not feel safety to be at the utmost priority.
