Join us as we pledge to end sexual violence.

Every 68 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted. The majority of victims are under the age of 30. 8 out of every 10 rapes are committed by someone known to the victim, and most happen in a home environment (RAINN).

SAVA is concerned for the safety and wellbeing of our community and recognize that during uncertain and stressful times, the rates of sexual violence increase and that individuals at home may not have a safe place to go. We therefore recognize the vital importance of remaining open and supporting survivors directly. Through our commitment to survivors and our community, our offices will remain open during normal operating hours for walk-ins, advocacy, and therapy. For individuals who do not feel safe coming into our offices our 24-hour hotline will always remain accessible.

We need your help in order to continue to provide these vital services during this time of community crisis.

Every April SAVA embraces Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) through a variety of outreach, educational and fundraising events.

Please consider making a Pledge to End Sexual Violence through donation to SAVA Center and supporting over 1,400 victims of sexual assault who come through our doors.

Meet Alex

She is 17-years old and has been receiving individual therapy at SAVA for several months now.

When she began treatment, she struggled with believing her sexual assault was her fault, depression, strained family and interpersonal relationships, frequent panic attacks, and low self-esteem.

We began therapy by developing a relationship and creating a space in the therapy room where she felt safe and comfortable. From there we were able to address her panic attacks with a combination of grounding exercises and awareness of the body and breath.

With time and trust we were able to discuss what her sexual assault experience was and how it impacted how she viewed herself, other people, and the world. Discussing the sexual assault experience at the clients pace laid the ground work for her to feel empowered and thus improved her self-esteem and helped with her depression.

The client was able to take some power back in her life around her own experience and narrative which in turn helped improve the client’s social life and family relationships. The client works hard every day to face the challenges of having lived through a traumatic sexual assault but now has more tools to better get through those tough day, and the lived experience to know that not all days are bad. She is more confident, has more resources, knows that her sexual assault was not her fault, and appears hopeful and excited about her future.

Consider joining us as a partner and supporting survivors of sexual violence and helping be a part of the prevention and education in our community.

Pledge to End Sexual Violence!

Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) is one of SAVA’s largest outreach, education and fundraisers of the year, accounting for more than $40,000 of all the funds we must raise this year. Funds that help ensure vital services that survivors need to heal and process their trauma. Funds that support much needed sexual violence prevention programming, reaching over 9,700 youth ages 8-18 with age-appropriate curriculum needed to learn about the roots of gender violence, what consent means and how to safely intervene in situations.

“Sadly, no one is immune to sexual violence. We need to work together to educate, to prevent and to support those who have been violated. We all have a role to play as no one is immune. Please support SAVA and their efforts to end sexual violence and their support services for those who suffer from the trauma of sexual violence”. – Jacki Marsh, Mayor – City of Loveland

I pledge to end sexual violence so that the word ‘survivor’ becomes obsolete and isn’t needed. So that children can live their best lives. – Alanna Moses, CPA Anderson & Whitney, SAVA Board Treasurer.
