Collaborated with community leaders to generate strategies for addressing sexual assault (SA). Created resource guides and care packages for SA victims to discreetly care for themselves post- SA to be distributed by community health clinics.

Learning Outcomes:

Increased knowledge about:

Community engagement to help respond to individuals who experience sexual violence
Providing tools to help folks who had experience a sexual assault have more autonomy in their care
How to support people in marginalized communities who experience sexual assault who do not seek formal care
