Centering Community: Healing & Wellness - National Organization of Asians and Pacific Islanders Ending Sexual Violence (NAPIESV)

Healing from trauma is the primary objective for survivors of sexual assault.

Therefore, it is crucial to prioritize culturally relevant healing and wellness practices tailored to the diverse experiences within API (Asian and Pacific Islander) communities. NAPIESV plays a pivotal role in incorporating these cultural considerations into our efforts addressing sexual violence.

In our approach, we view the community and the collective as integral components of a healing space. NAPIESV centers culturally informed and accessible wellness practices, recognizing the importance of tailoring support to the unique needs of survivors from API backgrounds.
