Sexual Assault Awareness Month (#SAAM) Oak Hill’s Center for Relationship and Sexuality Education (CRSE) & Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence
Guests: Brenna Doyle, Coordinator for CRSE, Oak Hill & Beth Hamilton, Executive Director, Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence
April is national Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) and at Oak Hill, we are working to raise awareness about this issue and how it impacts individuals with disabilities and to help support survivors.
Discussions about sexual assault and its impacts are becoming more common. What is often left out of this conversation is the fact that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities face a rate of sexual assault that is at least seven times higher than those without those disabilities.

RAPID CITY, S.D. Members of the the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office and Rapid City Police are wearing colors of support for victims of crime.
Dozens of staffers gathered in front of the Public Safety Building on Wednesday wearing either purple, teal, or dark blue.
Purple represents this week as National Crime Victim’s Rights Week, Teal is for Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and dark blue signified Child Abuse and Neglect Awareness Month.
The two law enforcement agencies posed for a photo to help raise awareness of these victims and support their rights.
The hope is to send a message to victims that they are not alone and that help is available.
