Survivors Pathway was created in 2010 by Francesco Duberli with the mission of fighting for  justice alongside survivors, promoting equality and  inclusion  through culturally-sensitive, mental health counseling and advocating for Latino and LGBTQI+ communities, survivors of violent crimes such as domestic, sexual and intimate partner violence, human trafficking, and other types of victimization. The belief in advocating for all regardless of race, gender, class, and sexuality grounds our counseling and advocacy work. 

 

Since its foundation, Survivors Pathway has been a safe place for all communities in need of spaces that embrace, affirm and integrate their cultural values, gender identity, sexual orientation and world view during their healing process. 

 

Survivors Pathway’s creation and development is supported by  partnerships with  local police departments in Miami Dade such as Miami Dade Police Department, City of Miami Police Department, Hialeah Police Department, and Miami Beach Police Department. Survivors Pathway additionally works in collaboration with The State Attorney’s Office, Florida Department of Health, and local nonprofit organizations that serve victims of crimes. Currently, Survivors’ Pathway is funded by the Office of the Florida Attorney General, the Florida Department of Health, and the U.S Department of Justice.
