Celebrating 20 Years of Healing: Join Us for Avalon’s Anniversary Cruise

This September, Avalon Healing Center invites you to set sail with us as we celebrate 20 years of compassionate, trauma-informed care for survivors of sexual assault. Our 20th Anniversary Cruise is more than a celebration — it’s an opportunity to honor our journey, uplift survivors, and help chart the course for the next 20 years of healing.

For two decades, Avalon Healing Center has stood as a beacon of hope in our community, providing free and confidential services to survivors and their families. From counseling and advocacy to holistic healing and community education, your support has made this work possible — and now, we’re celebrating this milestone together.

Event Highlights

Guests aboard our 20th Anniversary Cruise can look forward to:

-A beautiful evening on the water
-Cocktail hour and light refreshments
-Silent auction and raffle opportunities
-Music and celebration
-Inspiring stories honoring 20 years of impact
-A chance to connect with supporters, advocates, and community leaders

This special evening will celebrate the resilience of survivors, the dedication of our supporters, and the powerful community that has helped Avalon grow over the past two decades.

Every ticket purchased and every donation made during the cruise helps sustain Avalon’s essential services — ensuring survivors continue to receive compassionate, trauma-informed care at no cost. As we reflect on the past 20 years, we’re also looking ahead to expanding services, deepening community partnerships, and continuing to meet survivors where they are. 💙

🌈 Our Annual Staff Photo & What Pride Means to Us 🌈
Today we’re excited to share our annual Avalon Healing Center staff photo—a snapshot of the incredible people who show up every day with compassion, dedication, and a commitment to supporting our community.

As we celebrate Pride, we’re reminded that Pride is more than a month on the calendar. To us, Pride means creating spaces where people feel safe, seen, respected, and valued exactly as they are. It means honoring authenticity, embracing diversity, and recognizing the strength that comes from being able to live openly and honestly.

At Avalon Healing Center, we are proud to support LGBTQ+ individuals, families, and communities throughout the year. We believe healing happens when people are met with acceptance, understanding, and affirmation.

This photo represents a team united by those values—a team committed to being and fostering belonging, advocating for equity, and helping every person who walks through our doors feel welcomed.

Happy Pride Month from all of us at Avalon Healing Center. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Come visit us this weekend!

🌈 How to Support LGBTQIA+ Survivors of Sexual Assault 🌈

Every survivor deserves to be believed, supported, and respected. For LGBTQIA+ survivors, healing can be made more difficult by stigma, discrimination, fear of not being believed, or concerns about being outed.

Here are a few ways to support LGBTQIA+ survivors:

💙 Believe them. Listen without judgment and trust their experience.

💚 Respect their identity. Use their chosen name and pronouns, and avoid making assumptions about their gender identity, sexual orientation, or relationships.

💜 Let them lead. Healing looks different for everyone. Support their choices and respect their boundaries.

🧡 Educate yourself. Learn about the unique barriers LGBTQIA+ survivors may face when seeking support and services.

💛 Create safe spaces. Foster environments where survivors feel welcomed, affirmed, and accepted for who they are.

❤️ Connect them to resources. Inclusive, trauma-informed support services can make a meaningful difference in a survivor’s healing journey.

At Avalon Healing Center, we are committed to providing compassionate, affirming care for all survivors. During Pride Month and throughout the year, we stand with LGBTQIA+ survivors and honor their strength, resilience, and right to healing.

🌈 This Pride Month, we celebrate the power of being unmuted. 🌈

For so many LGBTQ+ survivors, finding the courage, safety, and support to share their experiences can be a profound act of strength. At Avalon Healing Center, we believe every survivor deserves to be heard, believed, and supported exactly as they are.

Being unmuted means embracing your truth, reclaiming your voice, and knowing that your story matters. This month, and every month, we stand alongside LGBTQ+ individuals and communities, honoring their resilience, advocating for equity, and creating spaces where healing can happen without judgment.

You deserve to live authentically. You deserve support. You deserve to be heard.

Happy Pride Month from all of us at Avalon Healing Center. ❤️

“I Am Somebody” is more than a poem — it is a reflection of survival, healing, resilience, and the power of shared voices. 💜

Created during Sexual Assault Awareness Month at Avalon Healing Center, this collective poem was written by survivors and those who walk alongside them. Each line holds space for the many ways healing can look and reminds us that no one’s journey is exactly the same.

This annual tradition honors not only what survivors have carried, but what continues to be reclaimed — voice, identity, boundaries, and self.

We are honored to share “I Am Somebody” with our community and invite you to read the full piece now on the Avalon Healing Center blog. (See link in stories)

Because every survivor deserves to be seen, heard, and reminded:
I am somebody.

Family & Friends: Together We Rise – Art & Healing Night ✨🎨💛

What a beautiful evening of connection, creativity, and community. We came together to heal, express ourselves, and uplift one another through art and shared experiences.

From meaningful conversations to creative expression, the night was filled with support, inspiration, and genuine connection. Thank you to everyone who joined us, survivors who shared their voices, wisdom, art and helped make the evening so special.

We’re reminded: healing truly happens in community — and together, we rise.
