We're thrilled to announce that Network for Victim Recovery of DC is once again bringing the SAVRAA Sexual Assault Counselor Training! This training is funded by OVSJG and has been designed for all folx seeking to become qualified sexual assault counselors under the Sexual Assault Victims' Rights Amendment Act of 2019 (SAVRAA).

SAVRAA is a DC law that enhances the District's response to sexual violence in many ways, including expanding the right to an advocate for victims/survivors.

Join us to learn more about innovative ways to provide victim-centered, trauma-informed, culturally responsive crisis counseling and advocacy support to all eligible victims/survivors requesting services in a joined effort to better support our communities. If you are interested in obtaining the sexual assault advocate training certificate, you must successfully complete the sexual assault counselor training AND work for an organization that is approved to provide services by the SART (Sexual Assault Response Team). 

Save the dates for the live sexual assault counselor training webinars. Registration link below. 

September 2023: 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th. Register here. 

Exciting news! The last day of training will be an in-person event held at a location in the heart of DC. We'll be sharing more information about the venue soon.
