Who We Are

Surviving Beauty is a ONE. OF. A. KIND. organization focused on providing advocacy and support for victims, survivors, and their families. We fight with you, so you don’t have to fight alone.

Founded in the bedroom of her own abusive home, founder and Executive Director, Jessica Shank, fought her family court battles alone. On her quest for help she found that a black hole, a void in services, existed across the world. 99.9% of Domestic Violence Advocacy exhausts at shelter, legal advocacy for criminal proceedings, support, and counseling. Most communities do not have access to a legal aid service that they can call on in times of need. Something had to change.

Surviving Beauty now provides education, empowerment and support to victims and survivors, while fighting for legislative change and inspiring others to expand their own services.
