The Sigil Social Foundation, a behavioral health counseling center, was created to help further humanity through love and understanding of the human condition. We are fundraising to build a long-term safe house for domestic abuse families, family members, and slave trafficking victims to escape and recover so that they can learn to love themselves. With a powerful new therapeutic curriculum and understanding, we have created the options that we wish were available to us during our times of need. Sigil is the only long-term answer to the problem of domestic abuse. Sigil is a leader in the recovery and wellness community, with the resiliency and multi-cultural integration that our diverse population deserves.
