Mission, Vision, and Philosophy

Mission

Our mission is to provide support and empower college student victims and survivors of sexual violence and interpersonal violence with the goal of all of our students completing their degree.

Vision

Support survivors on a national scale virtually who are navigating their healing journey while being college students by connecting them to a community.

Philosophy

We aim to support survivors in a holistic way by connecting them to other survivors and allies who can support, mentor, and advocate for them in various areas of their lives and healing journeys.

A few important aspects of this support and mentorship:

• We believe that victims and survivors do not owe anyone their story in order to receive support. We will not require students to share their story.
  
  
• Our holistic view of healing means that support can come in many different forms. Our goal is for Soul Survivor Network to complement other community resources available to students, help students navigate the different aspects of their healing, and empower students in their healing journey and in various aspects of their lives.
  
  
• We want victims and survivors to know that we are part of their support network. We provide care packages and small reminders that the students we work with are not alone, especially surrounding meaningful dates and events such as anniversaries, disciplinary hearings, and legal proceedings.
  
  
• We serve students who have experienced any form of sexual violence or interpersonal violence, including, but not limited to, sexual harassment, stalking, sexual assault, domestic or relationship violence, or sex trafficking, regardless of whether these occurred before or during enrollment in a university or on or off campus.
