We're Here for you
Heard. Validated. Supported.
As part of the lawsuit's non-monetary conditions, the ANO Settlement Trust Advisory Committee was created — and it is made up entirely of survivors like you. We exist to support you both during and long after the claims process. Over the past few years, we have worked tirelessly to ensure you have lasting access to the resources and care you deserve. Our mission is to support one another with dignity, compassion, and respect, while advocating for meaningful reforms that protect future generations.

You Are Not Alone
Whatever your story looks like, whatever pace you need — there is a community of survivors and caring people here with you. Take your time. We're not going anywhere.
Ways We Can Help
Resources Shared By and For Survivors
Simple, suggested places to start — nothing here is mandatory, and everything can grow as more survivors share what's helped them.
Find Healing On Your Own Terms
True recovery requires care that understands the deep impact of trauma. We compiled these local and national directories to connect you with licensed, trauma-informed therapists, psychiatrists, and specialized survivor support networks. These experts help you process your experiences safely, develop sustainable coping tools, and reclaim your personal well-being so you can navigate your journey at your own pace.
Secure Your Financial Freedom
Managing settlement funds, navigating court awards, or restructuring your personal finances can feel overwhelming. We brought together a list of trusted financial advisors and tax professionals experienced in working with survivors. These experts help you build long-term stability, optimize your tax strategy, and protect your assets so you can focus entirely on your future.
Explore Shared Stories and Insights
Discovering others' stories and clinical insights can provide deep comfort, validation, and clarity on your healing journey. We gathered this curated list of books, podcasts, and video series to offer diverse perspectives on trauma recovery, institutional accountability, and personal resilience. These peer-recommended media tools allow you to engage with educational concepts and survivor stories privately and entirely at your own pace.
These are suggestions shared by survivors and staff, not endorsements or directives. Please use your own judgment and consult professionals directly.
Gatherings & Gentle Events
Mindful movement classes, peer meet-ups, and speakers — posted here as they're scheduled. This calendar will grow as survivors and staff plan more together.
