The Oregon Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence (OCADSV) in partnership with the Department of Justice Crime Victim and Survivor Services Division (CVSSD), is pleased to offer a new opportunity, Enhancing Sexual Assault Services Initiative (E-SASI). This 18-month initiative will provide up to six sexual and domestic violence (S/DV) programs across the state an opportunity to receive specialized support in enhancing sexual assault advocacy services. The E-SASI will utilize a four-pronged approach focused on building capacity within individual skills, organizational development, anti-oppression work, and trauma-informed practices.

The E-SASI requires participation from S/DV organizational leadership staff in addition to at least one other staff member. Selected programs should have a commitment to examining organizational policies and practices and a willingness to implement changes in order to better meet the diverse needs of all sexual assault survivors.

Participating organizations will receive training and support from OCADSV and national trainers throughout the 18-month period. Additionally, the initiative will provide opportunities to learn with and develop meaningful relationships with sibling organizations across the state through a cohort learning model.

This initiative is informed by the Resource Sharing Project's Sexual Assault Demonstration Initiative (SADI).
