Strength United

What Strength United does

Strength United (StrengthUnited) is a non-profit, university-affiliated program founded in 1986 and operated within the Michael D. Eisner College of Education at California State University Northridge (CSUN). The organization delivers intervention and prevention services to individuals and families affected by trauma, sexual assault, and violence in the San Fernando Valley and Santa Clarita Valley regions of California, with a stated mission of transforming trauma and violence into empowerment, advancing systemic healing, and developing leaders for lasting change. The organization is headquartered at 18111 Nordhoff Street, Northridge, California, maintains a headcount of approximately 85 employees, and operates two dedicated community support helplines in addition to a main office line.

The service portfolio is divided into two primary lines: Intervention, encompassing direct counseling, advocacy, and crisis response for survivors, and Prevention, encompassing training, education, and community outreach. In February 2025, the organization extended its reach onto the CSUN campus through the launch of the Campus Care Advocates program, which deploys certified sexual assault counselors to provide free, confidential services to university students. Strength United does not operate a distinct software or product platform; all services are delivered through in-person counseling, telephone support lines, and structured training programs at the Northridge location.

As a non-profit entity within the California State University system, Strength United is funded through a combination of university institutional support, public grants specific to victim services, and private donations solicited through the CSUN engagement portal. The organization does not publicly disclose revenue, does not list pricing for its services, and has not raised private capital. It has been recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in SoCal in both 2024 and 2026, and its operating geography is confined to California, with no documented expansion outside the state or internationally.
