Calling all high school students! Are you ready to make a difference in your community?

Join The Rowan Center’s Student Advisory Board—a volunteer group made up of high school students of all genders who share insights, experiences, and perspectives on issues affecting young people today, including sexual violence prevention and safety in their communities.

Students meet monthly and work together to raise awareness about sexual violence prevention, support peer education, and strengthen conversations about safety and healthy relationships within their schools and communities. In addition, members help The Rowan Center shape prevention messaging and education efforts so they reflect the realities high school students are navigating.

At The Rowan Center's Trauma Recovery Practice, we believe that trauma-informed care means that the treatment you receive is unique to you, just as your experience of your trauma is. Our clinicians work from the understanding that trauma can affect different people differently, from how they feel in their bodies, how they relate to others, and how safe the world feels.

We offer long-term, trauma-informed therapy for adults 18+ in English, Spanish, and French. We're proud to accept a variety of insurance, including HUSKY, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, and Anthem.

Please visit therowancenter.org/traumarecoverypractice to learn more and connect with our team.
