The Rowan Center - A Sexual Assault Resource Agency

Our wish?
A world free from sexual violence.

We counsel victims and survivors as they process their experiences of sexual violence from the past, we advocate for them as they navigate the circumstances of the present, and we educate our communities to prevent sexual violence in the future.

The Trauma Recovery Clinic is Now Open!

All survivors of trauma deserve hope and healing.

The Trauma Recovery Clinic (TRC) at The Rowan Center offers long-term, trauma-informed clinical therapy to help survivors of trauma heal. We are currently serving trauma victims and survivors on the HUSKY health insurance plan. Clients must be at least 18 years old. 

Mark your calendars for December 5 and save the date for this year’s Winter Wonderland Gala at the Wee Burn Country Club.

We are thrilled to announce that sponsorships for this year’s event are now available!

By sponsoring our Winter Wonderland event on December 5, you will help us raise essential funds to expand our counseling and advocacy services for children. This expansion is critical due to the alarming rise in cases of child abuse, sex trafficking and sextortion in our area. Your sponsorship will directly enable us to serve more children and families.

We proudly serve the eight towns of lower Fairfield county: Darien, Greenwich, New Canaan, Norwalk, Stamford, Weston, Westport, and Wilton.

Counseling

We respect the right of each person to choose their own path in the healing process. We offer free individual counseling sessions to primary and secondary victims of sexual violence, ages 14+, in English, Spanish and Haitian-Creole.

Education

It is part of our mission to eliminate sexual violence in as many ways as possible. Our education curriculum is designed from the knowledge that education and awareness can prevent and/or reduce sexual violence in our communities.
