Sexual Trauma Awareness and Recovery Services (STARS)
Sexual violence and its aftermath are intense and overwhelming. Having someone supportive to talk with can help. The STARS counselors at C4 provide respectful, effective and compassionate support to adults of all genders, through counseling services for survivors of sexual violence and other interpersonal trauma.
The STARS counselors respond to survivors with dignity and respect. Recognizing that sexual violence permeates all cultures and class boundaries, we offer culturally sensitive services to adults in a non-judgemental and supportive environment.
We offer a safe and trustworthy space where survivors can find support, resources and strength. For more information on how we can help, please call us at 872.235.0707 or email STARS@c4chicago.org

A scarf does not have to be any specific size or color, however we suggest a size of at least 5 inches wide and about 60 inches long. The yarn used should be as soft as possible, so that the scarf can be held close without feeling rough to the skin.
After you have made your scarf, please mail or drop off the hand-knitted or crocheted scarf to:
