Porchlight Counseling Services

Porchlight Counseling Services is one of the better kept secrets in Evanston, Illinois, a social service agency for college students who have suffered sexual assault.

The mission? Turn victims into survivors.

 

WGN-TV is airing the story at 9 p.m.

Sept. 7.

 

The agency is tucked in a little house in a bucolic suburb.  You would never know there is healing and wholeness going on inside.

Tonight WGN will interview Anne Bent,  founder and board president, an inspiration to all who know her.  Anne has been working for years for the successful fruition of this project.

The story also features Amy, a Porchlight client assaulted after being drugged (fairly standard) in college.  Her story is powerful.
