According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a staggering 1 in 4 children experiences physical, sexual or emotional abuse; 1 in 5 women has experienced domestic violence; and 1 in 5 women and 1 in 71 men have experienced rape at some point in their lives. Thousands of people throughout the Tri-State are survivors of that trauma.
