WINGS Foundation, Inc. exists to help adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse heal.

WINGS is a private, non-profit organization founded in 1982. Since that time, WINGS has established a solid reputation as a powerful resource for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. WINGS assists survivors as they work to break the cycle and heal the wounds of childhood sexual abuse.

WINGS has drawn strength from grassroots support. What was once a small group of women interested in helping others like themselves is now a vibrant, growing and influential group of women and men from all walks of life.

WINGS strives to promote healing through therapist facilitated peer support groups in which survivors are believed, accepted and are no longer alone. In addition to groups, we provide information and referral services, linking survivors to other resources in their communities.

Support groups help survivors focus on the struggles they are facing today as a result of childhood sexual abuse. Group members share experiences and learn methods of coping with the symptoms of their abuse. Issues addressed include difficulties with trust, relationships and intimacy, low self-esteem, boundary setting, and self-care and nurturing.

WINGS is looking for qualified Support Group Facilitators. If you are interested in volunteering, please review the Support Group Facilitator job description.
