Adding Your Piece: Annual Giving Campaign
|
|
Our inaugural Annual Giving Campaign runs through July 31st. The mosaic of services we offer to those who have experienced sexual violence is what puts our clients on the path to Become Whole Again.
Please contribute and help us reach our goal of $75,000.
The Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia will match your gift if you note "CFNEG Match" when you donate!
Money raised will fund staffing and operations for critical services like crisis intervention and advocacy, legal services, forensic medical care, a 24/7 crisis line, education & training, trauma-informed programming, and our Children’s Advocacy Center. Picking up the shattered pieces to create something intact requires our staff’s intensive and skilled support as they address each and every one of these specific needs.
Please add your piece to our mosaic and make a pledge today.

Parts of the Whole: Mosaic in Action
|
|
During Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) Heritage Month in May, our Managing Director Lindsay Ferreira sat on a panel at the AAPI Mental Health Awareness Gathering at The Water Tower in Buford. The event featured two discussions around mental health conditions, and community resources - including culturally relevant integrated care. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the Asian American Pacific Islander community has the lowest help-seeking rate of any racial or ethnic group. Read more on barriers, education, and work being done to eradicate the stigma.

Making Mosaic: The People Behind Our Mission
|
|
A fun fact, interesting tidbit, or compelling story about the people at the heart of our organization.
We asked Sara Cherry, Mosaic Georgia's Advocacy Manager, What drew you to work at Mosaic Georgia? "I’ve known since before I finished college that the work I wanted to do was with sexual assault survivors. Sexual violence is an issue I am passionate about and I feel lucky to have figured that out before even starting my career. I love working one on one with survivors but I also want to work in prevention & education, and Mosaic has space for both."
