A family-centered response
OSPREY is an early-stage 501(c)(3) nonprofit developing a family navigation and coordination model to help youth survivors of childhood sexual abuse and their families navigate critical handoffs with greater clarity and continuity.
Make the path after childhood sexual abuse clearer, more connected, and more continuous for survivors and families.
The problem OSPREY is examining
Without Continuity
Important work may be happening within individual organizations while the transitions between them remain unclear. The family can become responsible for identifying the next step, carrying information across boundaries, and noticing when a handoff has failed.
The intended path
Provide a manageable orientation to the current situation, OSPREY's role and limits, the most immediate priorities, and the first accepted action. The goal is clarity without overwhelming the family with the entire system at once.
Current starting pointNavigationBuild safeguarding, privacy, informed choice, responsible boundaries, and continuity into the operating model from the beginning.
Learn from recurring gaps and failed connections so communities and institutions can identify avoidable breakdowns earlier and build clearer pathways.
Translate responsible operating experience, family perspective, and evidence into practical improvements in how organizations coordinate and remain accountable across boundaries.
Introducing Waypoint
Waypoint is OSPREY's working concept for preserving the shared context that can disappear when people, providers, or circumstances change. It is intended to help a family's path resume without requiring them to reconstruct it from the beginning. No public platform or family-facing service is currently active.
What has already been explained and understood.
What a family has agreed to share, and with whom.
Where support paused and how to re-enter without starting over.
