“Sact supported and empowered people who experienced sexual harm to take steps toward healing, through accessing their hopes and supporting their concrete needs. Through the provision of services such as our 24-hour hotline, safety planning, advocacy at sexual assault nurse examinations, assistance applying for victim's compensation, support in court hearings or at crime related appointments or interviews, referrals to and support in accessing community resources, parent, friend, and caregiver support, and case management, we helped people begin to heal from harm. Sact piloted support groups and meetings focused on trauma impacts, resources available, and tools for creating community change. We re-organized our space and introduced the healing space at sact -- meeting space, reflection space, a library, and youth space all geared to making safer space for healing work of multiple types. We provided additional specialized services for people who have experienced sex trafficking, adult survivors of child sexual abuse, and children and youth who have experienced sexual violence.”
