Our Impact Over 18 Years
For nearly two decades, Trees of Hope has been a steadfast voice for prevention, healing, and restoration in the fight against sexual abuse. What began as a local outreach has grown into a movement — one rooted in truth, powered by faith, and driven by the belief that every person deserves safety, healing, and hope.
Every workshop. Every conversation. Every resource.
Every story.
It’s all part of a greater mission: to rewrite stories of pain into stories of hope. Thank you for being a part of this journey. We’re just getting started.

THE PROBLEM
Without clear tools, kids remain vulnerable, and survivors stay silent!
-
Hard to Talk About
If you experienced sexual abuse and haven't healed, discussing it with your child can seem daunting. However, remaining silent puts them at risk. At Trees of Hope, we offer prevention resources and healing studies to support your journey towards healing and to encourage difficult discussions. With compassion, honesty, and valuable tools, we are committed to empowering you to guide your family with confidence.
- It’s not too late to heal — or to protect the ones you love.
-
Resources Miss the Mark
Prevention content frequently lacks clarity or uses fear-inducing language, which may overwhelm children instead of empowering them. In contrast, we adopt a unique approach—leveraging story-driven, values-based resources that parents, caregivers, and grandparents can confidently utilize. Our healing studies focus on Christ, offering a compassionate, biblical route to restoration for those prepared to seek healing.
- Tools that teach. Stories that stick. Truth that heals.
-
Don't Know Where to Start
You don’t need to have all the solutions; what you need is the right support. We aim to help parents by providing clear, practical tools that enable effective communication with your children, help recognize warning signs, and allow you to respond with insight and confidence. Our resources and studies are grounded in truth and compassion, designed to equip and empower you — not to hinder or burden you.
-You’re not in this alone. We’re here to help you take the next step.
THE PLAN
Whether you’re looking to protect your child or start your healing journey, we will guide you on the right path!

TESTIMONIAL
“I walked into the Trees of Hope prevention workshop thinking I knew how to protect children. But what I experienced was far more than information — it was life-changing. I left that room realizing how unprepared so many of us are, even with the best intentions. The stories, the tools, the way it was all taught with such care and clarity — it opened my eyes. Every single parent, grandparent, teacher, and caregiver needs to go through this training. If you love a child, you owe it to them to be equipped. This workshop isn’t optional — it’s essential.”
