Join us in celebrating a true visionary! 🏆✨ Last week at the FCASV Biennial, our former Executive Director, Teresa Miles, was honored with the national NSVRC 2026 Visionary Voice Award!

Nominated by the Florida Council Against Sexual Violence, this award highlights Teresa's incredible impact since taking the helm at WCJ in 2016. From envisioning a trauma-informed, survivor-centered SAFE Center filled with inspiring artwork, to bringing on Hero, our former therapy dog 🐾 to comfort both survivors and our hard-working staff, Teresa leads with her whole heart.

Teresa, thank you for being a fierce advocate, a compassionate leader, and a voice for hope and healing in Jacksonville. We are so proud of you! 🩵
