This webinar explains the survivor-centered study that was conducted and what was learned.

“The National Sexual Violence Resource Center was tasked with reaching out to the public to learn more about how they view and understand sexual assault services and resources available in the United States. This trauma-informed needs assessment surveyed 645 participants nationwide to identify emerging issues and promising practices in sexual assault response and prevention, training and support needs, and service demands for sexual assault survivors.”
