United Open Arms

We are a nonprofit charity that cares deeply about helping people in need. Many survivors associated with our fellowship are in need of therapy to help them heal from the trauma of child sexual abuse (CSA) and adult sexual abuse (SA).

Supporting CSA/SA survivors with therapy funds and educating for safe spaces with care and compassion.

We are pleased to announce that the UOA Therapy Fund Helpline is now operational.  Survivors can call 1-888-564-3073 and talk confidentially with an intake specialist.

Survivors located in the United States will be considered for financial assistance. As there is a continuing need for this support, UOA will complement other therapy funds and private efforts. A confidential process has been established to maintain the privacy of survivors needing therapy funds and the privacy of donors who wish to provide financial assistance. 

UOA has partnered with RAINN, the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization, to provide a dedicated therapy fund helpline for survivors. Trauma-informed intake specialists from RAINN will answer survivors’ calls. These specialists, trained specifically for UOA’s helpline, will assist survivors to determine eligibility for financial assistance.

The UOA helpline will not investigate abuse allegations or provide crisis intervention. If a survivor calls and needs immediate assistance, the RAINN intake specialist will transfer the call to a crisis center. Also note that RAINN is a mandatory reporter, meaning that if a caller discloses identifying information concerning the abuse of a child or vulnerable adult, a report will need to be made to local authorities.

The Therapy Fund Helpline Services are provided in English via telephone Monday-Friday from 9AM-7PM Eastern Time (8 AM-6 PM Central, 7AM-5PM Mountain, 6AM-4PM Pacific). Closed all major holidays and between Christmas and New Years.
