About Us

CECRC is an independent non-profit organization headquartered in San Francisco, California. We are a fiscal sponsor to other organizations with shared missions.

CECRC seeks to provide a range of resources such as treatment/rehabilitation, housing, financial tools, and more to survivors of domestic sexual assault, irrespective of gender. We provide a safe haven, and creation of sustainable income for survivors.

Education is also a main part of CECRC's programming. We provide education through workshops, seminars, and courses created specifically for community leaders and organizations, and health care professionals to further the understanding of the unique challenges survivors face. We focus on supporting survivors and their friends and family, on how to educate their government systems and communities, and ultimately, how to eradicate domestic and sexual violence completely.

We offer clean, safe facilities and a supportive environment for survivors to begin or continue their recovery.

City Embrace Counseling and Resource Center supports organizations provides help and services based on local need in a culturally sensitive manner.

Our first center is in Roatan, Honduras "Rise Up Roatan" www.riseuproatan.org was closed in 2020 due to the COVID pandemic but we are currently in the process of developing our "Rise Up San Francisco" project which includes a number of wonderful organizations which provides a wider range of services. Look for updates for its opening in early 2022.
