Join us for the annual SAVA Summit, a gathering of advocates, community members, and professionals dedicated to supporting survivors in our shared Northern Colorado community.
This event will highlight the power of collective action and honor our Community Partner of the Year and Volunteer of the Year.
More than just a breakfast, the SAVA Summit is a call to action—because every survivor deserves to know support is there when they need it most.
Presenting Sponsor - Hadfield Stieben Doutt
Keynote Speaker: Jess Michaels
Jess Michaels is a TEDx speaker, social-impact founder, and survivor-advocate reshaping how we understand trauma, safety, and community care. A 1991 Jeffrey Epstein survivor, Jess has navigated Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder for more than three decades, an experience that now fuels her life’s work.
She is the founder of 3Joannes, Inc., a Public Benefit Corporation developing #WithYouToo, the first-ever Social Safety app built on the principles of Sexual Assault First Aid™—a framework that teaches everyday people how to show up in moments that matter, before, during, and after crisis. The platform equips peers and communities with pre-crisis protocols, trauma-sensitive support skills, and clear post-assault care pathways.
At the heart of Jess’s work is a powerful reframing: sexual assault is an injury before it’s an investigation. Her mission is to prevent long-term PTSD by ensuring survivors receive immediate, compassionate, stabilizing care before systems and interrogations unintentionally deepen the harm.
