Reclaiming Lives Impacted by Trauma

Around the globe, gender-based violence impacts the lives of hundreds of thousands of people including women, girls, men, and boys as well as individuals who don’t conform to conventional gender role norms. Service provision that addresses the immediate needs of victims of gender-based violence has continued to emerge as a response to these issues. However, there is a prevailing deficit of long-term, therapeutic options for survivors of gender-based violence.

Sanar, meaning “to heal” in Spanish, addresses this global service gap by establishing itself as one of the first agencies to move beyond crisis interventions by focusing on long-term healing for survivors. Sanar offers holistic wellness services to support survivors in processing trauma while providing tools aimed at preventing future incidences of violence through the Resiliency Initiative. Through transformative, evidence-based, therapeutic supports, survivors learn to adopt resiliency and self-empowerment practices throughout their journeys towards healing. Each of Sanar’s programs has been carefully designed with mental health clinicians, victim service providers, and survivors to ensure services holistically address the unique trauma and experiences of each individual accessing support.Sanar does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, age, sexual orientation and gender identity. .

The Hummingbird as a Symbol of Resiliency

Even as the smallest of all birds, hummingbirds are one of the most resilient and adaptable.  They can fly backwards and journey great distances allowing them   to travel to new heights. Their ability to hover in place also evokes themes of mindfulness and living in the present. 
 
Sanar is proud to hold the hummingbird as the symbol of resiliency in the journey towards trauma transformation for all of the individuals and communities that we serve.
