On June 15th, RCASA’s staff won an award from the Family and Children’s Trust Fund (FACT) for innovative community collaboration to prevent family violence in the Commonwealth of Virginia. This recognition is for our Latino’s Services program and community collaborations to create and implement the program. Last year and the year before, FACT provided funding for RCASA to outreach the Latino community to provide services for sexual assault and sexual abuse victims. Our Latino Services Program Our Latino services program provides services to survivors of sexual assault, rape, dating violence, and sexual abuse to the Spanish speaking community. Our intervention services include: 24-hotline support, medical and forensic accompaniment, legal advocacy and court accompaniment, and counseling (both group and individual). Our education services include outreach to the community, participation in community events, brochures, flyers and other information in Spanish, and prevention curriculums. Just email

if you need legal advocacy. The Future of our Latino Program FACT’s funding has helped us significantly get our Latino program off the ground and build our relationship with the Latino community. As we move into this coming fiscal year, Kaiser Permanente steps in to provide $50,000 in funding to continue and enhance our program. With Kaiser’s support, we will be able to serve more people from the Latino and Immigrant communities through direct services and outreach. We will implement Patient Navigators to help Spanish speaking and immigrant survivors of sexual assault and abuse through crisis, medical and forensic services, legal advocacy and prosecution, and counseling services.
