The Moonwood Movement is dedicated to raising awareness and a system of support for victims of child sex abuse. Every day, Moonwood’s co-owners Alecia and Bernadette fight for education on childhood indicators of abuse, raising awareness on courses of action within the justice system, and resources for abuse survivors and their families. Moonwood Movement’s purpose is to help survivors find their voice, to give their hands the tools needed to move forward independently, and to motivate change in the way our community currently approaches child sex abuse. For years, co-owner Alecia’s daughter has used the imagery of the woods as a safe space when feeling overwhelmed by memories of sexual abuse during her childhood. Co-owners Bernadette and Alecia are focused on making Moonwood an environment where abuse survivors can work and gain skills they can take wherever they go next on their journey of healing.
We believe with love, and support, survivors will be able to find hope for a better future.
