Philadelphia's Student Survivor Community

Survivor-based Arts Healing and Resources

Project Artemisia’s mission is to provide stronger mental health resources for survivors of sexual violence at colleges and universities within the greater Philadelphia region. Here’s how:

  • Healing

    • Connect with a counselor or other mental health resources. 
    • Begin healing through our local art initiatives.
    • Find community amongst fellow survivors. You are not alone.
  • Raising Awareness

    • Learn the statistics and the stories.
    • Understand the complexities of survivorship through art.
    • Check out our work with colleges and universities.

While it is impossible to completely prevent campus sexual violence from occurring, Project Artemisia intends to extend the opportunity of healing, growth, and awareness to survivors.

Compassionate Engagement

Project Artemisia is a survivor-run awareness campaign. We understand the pain and struggle that comes with the aftermath of sexual violence, especially while being a student. You may have questions about reporting and Title IX complaints. We hope to offer guidance, give you the agency of choice in how to respond to your experience, and most importantly, provide you with the opportunity to heal. 

Our hardworking and dedicated staff is here for you. Project Artemisia will help connect you with local mental health care providers and victim assistance services. We also offer expressive arts healing workshops, led by survivors and art therapy professionals. At this campaign, we are committed to fostering community and safety amongst survivors. Come as you are and know that you are not alone. We believe you.

  • Our Mission

    Though sexual violence has proved to be a deep rooted issue on college campuses, accessible resources designed for aiding survivors’ mental health are limited. Project Artemisia aims to change this by creating services that extend beyond Title IX to bring a stronger sense of comfort and community to campus survivors. We also hope to raise awareness about the issue by sharing survivor stories and artwork.

  • Our Background

    This campaign was created by student survivors. During our time at school, we saw a lack of survivor-based resources and have since dedicated ourselves to providing other survivors with the care they need to persist.

  • Our Priorities

    At Project Artemisia, our priority is you. Be it through our art workshops, victim services, or community gatherings, we aim to ensure your comfort and safety during your time of need.

Only a Whisper

I never spoke much as a kid. I was painfully shy and struggled to raise my voice above a whisper, terrified that someone would hear my nervous stutter or the improper way I pronounced my “T”s.
