Duty Trumps Doubt™

Changing perspectives through our trauma-informed video and survivor-led presentations specifically designed to help law enforcement, medical personnel, legal professionals and society as a whole, to better understand victims of sexual crimes.

Everyone was highly impacted by your stories. The team definitely wants to continue our partnership moving forward.
— Sergeant Jason Hyland, UConn Police Department START Team

Survivors Speak®

Empowering survivors to share their stories through specialized professional training in public speaking and team building, allowing them to advance their own healing while helping to educate audiences of all kinds.

Being part of the Survivors Speak team lets me feel a sense of community. We are connected in so many ways…body, mind and soul. I’ve found people like me. The perpetrator took away my innocence, but he can never take away my spirit.
— Mary Taylor, Survivors Speak Outreach Team

Community Outreach and Advocacy

Engaging individuals in the community, in the legislature, at businesses, corporations and organizations to work together to create real and meaningful change.

We all have a role to play…remember this is personal, there is no such thing as ‘not in my neighborhood.’ Sexual crimes affect us all; our mothers, our fathers, our sisters, our brothers, our friends, our co-workers and our children.
— Donna Palomba, Founder and President, Jane Doe No More

Safe Student Initiative®

Educating students from middle school to college through age-appropriate, survivor-led interactive programs including safe and unsafe touch, sexual respect, healthy relationships, consent, bystander intervention and rape culture.

Our students were moved by how brave the speakers were for sharing their personal stories. Hearing from survivors firsthand will have a lasting impact.
— Katelyn Giulino, Health Teacher, Naugatuck High School

Escape Alive
Survival Skills®

Training women and girls to stay safe physically, emotionally and intellectually through personal prevention strategies, confidence-building skills, awareness tips, and kick, strike and blow techniques.

I can’t say enough great things about this program. I attended with two friends and our daughters and we couldn’t stop talking about what an amazing experience it was. To say we walked away feeling empowered is an understatement. Thank you for giving us an afternoon we will never forget.
— Escape Alive Survival Skills Participant, WCSU Danbury

Sexual Harassment Prevention Training

In-person, interactive training including role play for employers and employees to help ensure a healthy and safe work environment, free of sexual harassment. Training covers state policies and reporting procedures that fulfill training mandated by CT state law.

I thought it was a great idea to get everyone together for in-person training instead of having to complete the training online which is boring. Also the videos are great because they are up to date and show real concerns anyone can have at work.
— Don Jenkins, Manager, The Back Nine Tavern, New Britain

All Jane Doe No More programs are at no cost to participants.
