The Research

Heal On Purpose Inc. is dedicated to conducting relevant research on the prevalance and impact of sexual trauma in the Black Community. We understand that this topic can be difficult to lean into and are sensitive the “right now” capacity of everyone. We respect that some may not have the bandwidth to engage with this content. We send so much love and grace to those who can not.

We also send an enourmous amount of gratitude to those who can. Without you we would not have the necessary information to help us make informed decisions on the creation of needed interventions, resources, and support.

THANK YOU!

Our Data Matters!

When looking at the available information on the prevalence of sexual trauma in the Black community, it is apparent that the numbers do not accurately depict what is happening in our households. In order for us to have the relevant resources, access to culturally competent treatment, and healing modalities that centers OUR needs then we need the data to show us exactly what is necessary and right now the “math ain’t mathing.”

Please consider filling it out if you identify as Black and sharing with as many people as possible that do. The survey is anonymous, no identifying information is collected!
