Zero Abuse Project

Survivor support - includes expenses related to the jacob wetterling resource center (jwrc) and other victim-related programs. Jwrc works to end all forms of child maltreatment through education, training, and prevention while advocating for and serving children, adult survivors, and communities in minnesota. Also includes activities that create and disseminate tools and resources for survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Zap hopes to create spaces for survivors to share their stories and receive support to overcome trauma and its lasting effects. We also received a three-year grant from the office for victims of crime to assist children's advocacy centers in implementing spiritual care programs for maltreated children and adult survivors of abuse. This grant will also fund the first major study on the effectiveness of cac chaplaincy programs in addressing the spiritual impact of child abuse.
