In collaboration with nearby colleges and universities, rape crisis programs (RCP) are a critical resource for implementing sexual assault prevention programs and responding to victims. Local RCPs provide student sexual assault victims with advocacy, counseling, case management, and safety planning.

Prevention

To address sexual assault in a comprehensive manner, college communities should take multifaceted approaches that consider root causes of violence against women and men, promote bystander intervention, and promote healthy relationships. The attention on campus violence and resources available due to the Enough is Enough law has provided RCPs an opportunity to support their college community's comprehensive prevention activities.

Comprehensive prevention programs are: ¹

• Culturally relevant,
• Sustainable,
• Tailored to the community,
• Evidence-based,
• Trauma-informed,
• Guided by multiple stakeholders including students,
• And working at the individual, relationship, community, and societal levels.

Training and Technical Assistance Center for Rape Crisis Programs

New York State Coalition Against Sexual Assault and New York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault provide training and technical assistance (TTA) to rape crisis programs throughout New York State.
