Established in 1986 as Gwinnett Rape Crisis, Mosaic Georgia was founded with a singular mission: to provide unwavering support to victims of sexualized violence. Originally focused on offering assistance through a crisis line and accompaniment during forensic medical exams (commonly known as “rape kit” exams), our organization has evolved into a multi-services center with specialized supports for children, teens, and adults.
Our Mission: To take action and guide change for the safety, health, and justice of children and adults impacted by sexual violence.
Our Commitment: We offer free, confidential support and services to victims and survivors of sexualized harms including rape, sexual assault, child sexual molestation and abuse, sex trafficking, and technology-facilitated sexual abuse.. We recognize the diverse needs of survivors and offer specialized care to individuals of all genders, regardless of when the violence occurred or whether they choose to report.
Comprehensive Services: Mosaic Georgia addresses the unique needs of children, teens, and adults who experience sexualized harms. Our services extend beyond crisis intervention and advocacy to encompass the following:
Providing training to respond to and prevent instances of sexual assault.

Domestic violence affects individuals and families throughout our community, and events like this help bring attention to the issue, encourage conversations, and remind survivors that support is available. A special thank-you to the Gwinnett County Solicitor’s Office @solicitorlisamariebristol for hosting this event and for their continued support of Mosaic Georgia! We’re grateful to once again be one of three nonprofit beneficiaries, alongside @padvatlanta and @ahimsahouse .

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month from Mosaic Georgia! Today marks the beginning of a month celebrating the rich cultures, histories and traditions of Hispanic and Latino communities and the lasting impact they have made and continue to make. We’re excited to celebrate throughout the month!

As Mosaic Georgia celebrates 40 years, we’re looking back at how far we’ve come and ahead to what’s next. In a new reflection, Executive Director Lindsay Woon Ferreira shares the story behind Mosaic’s growth, the people who have shaped it, and why this year’s Mosaic Masterpieces holds special meaning. On Sunday, October 4, we’ll bring that celebration together at our reimagined Mosaic Masterpieces Sunday brunch, featuring keynote speaker C. David Moody Jr. Read Lindsay’s full reflection and then get your tickets to come celebrate 40 years of impact with us at the link in our bio!

What would you say to someone who needs a little hope today? For World Suicide Prevention Day, we asked our staff to answer that question on a sticky note. 💙 We hope these messages reach someone who needs them today. Take a moment to read through them, pause on one that catches your attention, or share one with someone who might need to hear it. & if you or someone you know needs support, help is always available. Call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or call Mosaic Georgia’s 24-Hour Crisis Line at 866.900.6019.

Last month, our Deputy Director, Dr. Michael Davis, had the opportunity to speak with psychology students and faculty at Georgia Gwinnett College as part of GGC’s Psychology Department Psycho Tuesday! His presentation, “Power-Based Violence: Knowledge, Awareness, and Prevention,” explored how power-based violence shows up, its impact, and the role awareness and education can play in prevention. It was great to see such an engaged group of students and faculty come together around this important topic. Thank you to GGC for welcoming us and continuing to create space for conversations that strengthen awareness and prevention in our community! 💪

We’re officially ONE MONTH away from Mosaic Masterpieces 2026!

Last month, we were honored to be selected by the Georgia Bankers Association as the nonprofit highlighted at this year’s Women in Banking Conference! 💙 A highlight of the day was hearing our Executive Director, Lindsay Woon Ferreira, share our mission, services, and impact with women leaders from across Georgia’s banking community. Our team also had the chance to connect with attendees throughout the conference, share resources, and talk more about the work happening every day at Mosaic Georgia. Thank you to the GBA for welcoming our team and for their meaningful support of Mosaic Georgia and the survivors, children, and families we serve!

What do you say when someone tells you they’ve experienced sexual abuse? You don’t have to have all the right answers. Sometimes, support starts with simply being mindful of the words you use. “I hear you.” “I’m sorry this happened to you.” “How can I help you right now?” “What do you need most?” Kendall, our Director of Mental Health & Wellness, shares how small, thoughtful responses can help someone feel heard and supported after experiencing sexual abuse. If you or someone in your life needs support, you don’t have to navigate what comes next alone. Our advocates are available 24 hours a day at 866.900.6019, or you can learn more about our free services at the link in our bio.

Last week, we joined the Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia for the 2026 Good2Give Celebration! We were honored to be recognized as one of this year’s grant recipients alongside an incredible group of organizations making a difference across our community. A huge thank you to the Community Foundation for investing in our work and continuing to champion nonprofits throughout Northeast Georgia.

As students prepare to head back to school, we’re helping ensure the adults who support them have the information they need, too. Earlier this week, our team had the opportunity to meet with the Buford City Schools School Resource Officers ahead of the new school year to review Mosaic Georgia’s services, the role of our Children’s Advocacy Center, and the reporting process for child abuse concerns. The conversation created space for open dialogue on how we can work together to better support children and families when concerns arise. As another school year begins, we’re grateful for opportunities like these to strengthen collaboration and help ensure children and families are connected to the resources they need, when they need them most. Want to learn more about what we do? Visit the link in our bio.

Healing doesn’t happen in one moment. It’s built through countless moments of support, connection, and community. THANK YOU to the Suwanee Kiwanis Club for their generous support. Their donation will help us expand our Wholeness Collective so we can reach more individuals in our community through wellness experiences that foster healing, resilience, and connection. When organizations come together to support one another, our entire community is stronger. Thank you, Suwanee Kiwanis Club, for being part of that impact.

What if we stopped asking, “Why didn’t they tell?” And started asking, “What made it so hard to tell?” Many people assume a child would tell someone right away if they were being abused. But for many children, it’s simply not that straightforward. In our latest article, Advocacy Specialist Rachel Pearson explores why children may wait to disclose abuse and how understanding the barriers they face can help create an environment where disclosure feels safe and accepted. Read the full article through the link in our bio. If you have concerns about a child or need support, our advocates are available 24/7 at 866-900-6019.

Christmas is coming early! 🎄⚾ This Saturday, we’ll be at the Gwinnett Stripers’ Christmas in July game with Georgia Festival of Trees! We’re proud to join Georgia Festival of Trees and fellow community organizations working to prevent human trafficking and support survivors. Events like this help raise critical funds and awareness to advance prevention efforts and restorative services throughout our community. Join us for a fun evening at the ballpark!

Thank you, Northside, for being part of our journey! Join our community of sponsors and help shape the next chapter of Mosaic Georgia. Learn more at the link in our bio!

As Forensic Interviewers Week comes to a close, we’re reflecting on what makes this work so important. A forensic interview is a specially structured conversation with a child or an adult with developmental disabilities who may have experienced or witnessed abuse. Many people assume the goal is simply to get answers. In reality, it’s about creating a space where they feel safe enough to share, if they choose to. That means slowing down. Building trust. Paying attention to body language. Allowing silence. Meeting each person where they are instead of expecting them to meet us where we are. It takes patience, compassion, and specialized training. To our forensic interviewers, thank you for the care, dedication, and expertise you bring to every child, adult, and family you serve. The impact of your work reaches far beyond the interview room. Want to learn more about the forensic interview process? Visit the link in our bio.

This week, we’re celebrating the incredible forensic interviewers at Mosaic Georgia who provide a safe, child-friendly space for children to share their stories during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. In 2025, our forensic interviewers conducted more than 530 forensic interviews, helping children and families begin their healing journey. Thank you to Helen, Maria, April, Jessica, Sam, Charmaine, and Rebeca for the compassion, patience, and expertise you bring to every interview. Because of you, children have a safe place to be heard, believed, and supported. Your work changes lives, and our community is stronger because of you. #ForensicInterviewersWeek #ChildAdvocacy #MosaicGeorgia #ThankYou

The energy at FIFA Fan Fest Atlanta is hard to beat. But while thousands of fans are taking in the excitement, Mosaic Georgia is there with a different purpose. Alongside Mairah, our human trafficking advocate, we’re exploring the event through a safety lens, highlighting where fans can turn for help if they or someone else needs it. Safety isn’t just about knowing where to get help. It’s also about looking out for one another. If you notice someone who seems lost, unsafe, or in distress, trust your instincts and let security know. Whether you’re attending a World Cup watch party, a concert, or your local festival, a little awareness can go a long way. Here’s what we found! #worldcupatlanta #fifafanfestatl #fifafanfest #traffickingprevention #fifaworldcup2026

Honored. Grateful. Inspired. 🙌 Thank you to Kares 4 Kids and Keller Williams North Gwinnett for awarding Mosaic Georgia a $2,000 Flex Fund grant. We are proud to be among the local organizations working to build a stronger community where children, families, and survivors have somewhere to turn when they need it most. We’re grateful to have community partners like you making that possible.

What if you gave yourself permission to slow down this summer? 🌿 Our Wholeness Collective invites teens and adults to join Summertime Slowdown, a six week self care series created to help you reconnect with yourself through mindfulness, creativity, conversation, and community. Each week explores a different self care theme, offering space to pause, reflect, build meaningful connections, and care for your emotional well being. Whether you’re looking to recharge, reduce stress, or simply carve out time for yourself, there’s a place for you here. ✨ Beginning Wednesday, July 8 Open to people of all genders. Teens: 5:15 to 6:30 p.m. Adults: 6:45 to 8:00 p.m. Register at the link in our bio!

Finding support in a space where you feel understood can be an important part of the healing journey. Mosaic Georgia’s new BIPOC Survivors Support Group is a free, six week virtual support group for adult female identifying survivors of sexual trauma.

Earlier this month, Mosaic Georgia hosted a 4-hour Strangulation Training, bringing together professionals from across multiple disciplines to strengthen our community’s response to victims and survivors. We are grateful to Heather Williams, MSN, RN, SANE-A, IVSE-C of The Refuge for sharing her extensive expertise on the medical and investigative implications of strangulation and best practices for multidisciplinary collaboration. Thank you to all of the partners who joined us as well as the Gwinnett County School Police Department gwinnettcountyschoolpolice for allowing us use their facility. Many people don’t realize that strangulation can cause serious or even fatal injuries, even when there are few or no visible signs. Trainings like this help professionals recognize the risks, understand the long-term impacts, and respond effectively to support victims and survivors. We’re proud to help bring trainings like this to our community.

Today, we honor the history, resilience, and contributions of Black communities while reflecting on the work that remains. Juneteenth marks both a celebration of freedom and a reminder that justice delayed continues to shape the experiences of many today. At Mosaic Georgia, we recognize that racial inequities continue to affect access to safety, healing, and support for survivors of sexual violence. We remain committed to listening, learning, and working toward a future where every survivor is heard, believed, and supported.

Connecting with our community is always one of the best parts of what we do. Thank you to Civic Guardians of North East Georgia and Atlanta Fork Lifts, Inc. for hosting the Community Resource & Safety Event this past weekend and bringing together organizations dedicated to supporting local families. We loved meeting attendees, sharing resources, and being part of a day focused on safety, connection, and community. It was also wonderful to connect with our partners at @georgiafestivaloftrees and see so many organizations working together to make a difference.

Thoughtful questions. Meaningful conversations. Future leaders in action. Thank you to the Gwinnett District Attorney’s Office @gwinnettcountyda for inviting Mosaic Georgia back to the Junior DA/Investigator Mentorship Program! Jessica and Erica led an engaging discussion on the role Sexual Assault Centers and Children’s Advocacy Centers play in our community, while exploring healthy relationships and boundaries. The students brought great energy to the session and showed a real curiosity about the work and its impact. We’re proud to support programs that inspire the next generation of leaders and changemakers in our community.

Introducing a new workshop from our Counseling Team! Starting June 23, Finding Calm: Anxiety & Coping Skills Workshop is a free, in-person workshop designed for female-identifying adults (18+) looking to build practical coping strategies for managing anxiety, reducing stress, and navigating everyday challenges in a supportive environment.

A new support group for rising 6th–8th grade youth is coming to Mosaic Georgia this summer.

This group will meet in person on Thursdays from 5:00–6:00 PM in Lawrenceville. Learn more about this new group and register at the link in bio!

As Atlanta prepares to host the FIFA World Cup, conversations about prevention, awareness, and community responsibility are more important than ever. In our latest article, Mosaic Georgia Advocacy Manager & CSEC Advocate Mairah Teli explores how major events can expose existing vulnerabilities, what human trafficking often looks like in reality, and why preparing before harm happens matters. Read our latest article, Atlanta’s Community Efforts to Prevent Human Trafficking During the World Cup at the link in our bio. If you or someone you know needs support related to sexual violence, exploitation, human trafficking, or abuse, our free 24/7 crisis line is here to help: 866-900-6019.

Every healing journey looks different. As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a close, we’re reflecting on an important reminder from Sarah, Wholeness Collective Coordinator & Therapist at Mosaic: healing is not one size fits all. It’s easy to compare your progress to someone else’s. Give yourself grace and remember that your journey is your own. If you need support along the way, we’re here. From counseling and support groups to wellness offerings, like art and yoga, we provide free services designed to meet survivors where they are. Learn more about our free mental health & wellness services at the link in our bio! #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #MentalHealthMatters #HealingJourney #MosaicGeorgia
