Together, we can create a community where survivors feel valued, supported, and empowered.
At COSCenter, our mission is clear: to provide a safe and nurturing environment where survivors of torture, civil war, and abuse can find solace, support, and a path towards healing. We are committed to empowering survivors to reclaim their lives, rebuild their futures, and thrive in their new community.
We envision a community where survivors are not defined by their past traumas but celebrated for their resilience and strength. Our vision is to create a world where survivors feel heard, valued, and supported as they embark on their journey of healing and transformation.
At Central Ohio Survivors Center (COSC), we are committed to providing survivor-centered care that prioritizes the unique needs, experiences, and voices of those we serve. We recognize that each survivor's journey is deeply personal and deserves to be met with empathy, respect, and understanding.
Our approach to care is trauma-informed, meaning that we recognize the pervasive impact of trauma on individuals and communities and strive to create a safe and supportive environment that promotes healing and empowerment. We understand that trauma affects every aspect of a person's life and can manifest in various ways, including physical, emotional, and psychological symptoms. That's why we take a holistic approach to care, addressing the interconnected needs of survivors and supporting their overall well-being.
We understand that healing is a collaborative process that requires the support of a multidisciplinary team. That's why we work closely with a network of healthcare providers, legal professionals, social service agencies, and community organizations to ensure that survivors receive comprehensive and coordinated care. By collaborating with our partners, we can address the complex needs of survivors more effectively and advocate for systemic change that promotes healing and justice.
Cultural competence and sensitivity are at the heart of our work at Central Ohio Survivors Center. We recognize and honor the diverse cultural backgrounds and experiences of our clients, and we strive to provide culturally competent care that respects their beliefs, values, and traditions. Our staff members come from diverse cultural backgrounds themselves, allowing us to better understand and meet the needs of our diverse clientele.
At COSC, we believe that education is a powerful tool for empowerment. We provide survivors with access to information and resources that empower them to make informed decisions about their care and advocate for their needs. Through educational workshops, support groups, and community outreach initiatives, we aim to equip survivors with the knowledge and skills they need to navigate their healing journey with confidence and resilience.
