Who/What is Team Only Stronger?

Thank you for taking the time to learn about Team Only Stronger, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to increasing resilience among survivors, inspiring prevention efforts, and reducing the prevalence of child sexual abuse and trauma.

Our Impact

Team Only Stronger is proud to highlight a series of meaningful accomplishments that reflect our unwavering commitment to child abuse prevention, trauma resilience, and community empowerment:

Widespread Community Outreach: Our team has reached over 10,000 individuals—including advocates, families, and professionals—through child sexual abuse prevention and awareness events across Southern California.
