HEALING ON YOUR OWN TERMS
Our services are designed to support survivors of gender-based violence through holistic, creative, and community-centered care that goes beyond crisis response. We recognize that healing is deeply personal, non-linear, and shaped by access, safety, and environment — which is why our programs prioritize survivor choice, dignity, and long-term sustainability.
All CNTR services are facilitated by trained professionals and practitioners who are also survivors, honoring the belief that healing is strengthened through shared lived experience and peer-informed teaching. By centering survivors as educators, facilitators, and leaders within their respective fields, CNTR creates spaces rooted in credibility, trust, and mutual understanding.
CNTR also intentionally challenges the scarcity-based norms often imposed on nonprofit services and marginalized communities. Rather than offering the bare minimum, we invest in high-quality, thoughtfully designed environments, programming, and care experiences. We believe survivors deserve access to beautiful, well-resourced, and detail-oriented spaces that communicate worth, safety, and respect — because healing is not only about services provided, but about how those services are delivered.
Each offering is trauma-informed, detail oriented, and guided by lived experience, creating environments where survivors are not positioned as recipients of charity, but as individuals worthy of care that is expansive, affirming, and restorative. Through this approach, CNTR supports survivors in connecting, restoring, and rebuilding on their own terms.
