April is dedicated to raising awareness for Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). It’s important to acknowledge a significant number of individuals have been impacted by sexual assault in their lifetimes. Throughout April, Clove Alliance aims to promote awareness and prevention of sexual violence, harassment, and abuse and believes, supports, and empowers survivors of sexual violence.
Staff encourage the community to join them in shining a light on survivors and hope to see members of the community at some of the many SAAM events throughout April.
