Debi Ray-Rivers

Hamilton, Bermuda

Debi Ray-Rivers was born and educated in Bermuda; graduating from Roger B. Chaffee High School. She entered the business world working for Delta Airlines in Bermuda as a customer service agent for 13 years. Prior to SCARS, she spent 14 years as a Human Resource Manager. 

With the support of her loving husband, Jerry and her two precious daughters Brittany and Christy, SCARS was created out of a devastating family experience in 2004 which brought to light the need for greater awareness, education and healing with respect to the issue of child sexual abuse. Mrs Ray-Rivers began her crusade to prevent child sexual abuse in 2011. 

Mrs. Ray-Rivers has a passion for God, family and the protection of children. She is an example of how you can turn pain into purpose. A survivor of sexual abuse herself, she was determined to “Break the Silence and the Shame” associated with this crime against children. 

Mrs. Ray-Rivers has a certification in Nonprofit Management from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and is a trained facilitator with the Darkness to Light Organization whose mission is to empower adults to prevent child sexual abuse. 

Mrs. Ray-Rivers is a recipient of the 2013 Cablevision Community Service Award. In December 2016, Debi was recognized for her exceptional service and work in the community and awarded The Queen’s Certificate and Badge of Honour.
