What Supportive Reaction Means

Add to your Briefcase

Keys to providing a supportive reaction include understanding ways to convey that the victim is not to blame, and that you believe in them while communicating empathy and support.

Our Mission

Funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative aims to create a coordinated community response that ensures just resolution to sexual assault cases. Through this program, funding is provided to support multidisciplinary community response teams engaged in the comprehensive reform of jurisdictions approaches to sexual assault cases resulting from evidence found in previously unsubmitted sexual assault kits.
