Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) April, 2019

APRIL IS SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH
JOIN NCEDSV AND PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE STATE
TO ADVOCATE FOR and assist SURVIVORS

NCEDSV is participating in the national SAAM campaign through social media awareness initiatives and by promoting statewide resources for sexual assault.

Join us in promoting public awareness of sexual assault prevention and response through social media. NCEDSV will post  SAAM-specific content via our social media channels throughout April, that you can then share to your pages to help raise community awareness. Add links to your own websites and resources, and share with your audiences.

Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Learn more about SAAM through the National Sexual Violence Resource Center’s (NSVRC) website.
