In conjunction with the play Unreconciled, the Project facilitates storytelling workshops, peer support groups, and public forums with leading experts on the issues of childhood sexual abuse.

We partner with supporting organizations and institutions seeking to broaden awareness of the effects of childhood sexual abuse on individuals and communities, and to foster greater openness in the spirit of healing.

"Shame is a group survival reflex, in which the individual is an afterthought. Shame's first goal is to have you conform to group expectations . . . One way art transforms shame is by replacing helplessness with agency."

—Janna Malamud Smith

The Unreconciled Project would like to express our gratitude to Paul Hastings, LLC, for their pro bono legal counsel, and to Steve LePore at StrongAfter for his pro bono executive director consultation.
