A Wrap-Up of Sexual Assault Awareness Month

Today, April 30th, 2012 marks the end of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.  The staff of Transitions has been very busy marking this important month.

Staff tied teal ribbons (the official color of sexual assault awareness) to parking meters and restaurant fencing in downtown Lewisburg.


On April 4th, a staff member and a volunteer travelled to Harrisburg for the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape's annual Advocacy Day.  (PCAR's CEO Delilah Rumburg calling for Pennsylvania legislators to pass HB1264 during PCAR's Advocacy Day at the Capitol Rotunda in Harrisburg.)

Chris Mallios, Attorney Advisor for Aequitas: The Prosecutor's Resource for Violence Against Women trained 71 individuals at Susquehanna University at Transitions' annual training event.

On April 18th, Susquehanna University held a Health Fair, which was attended by two Transitions Staff members.

The Federal Corrections Complex at Allenwood hosted an Emergency Preparedness Carnival on April 25th, which two staff members also attended.

Throughout the month, we also tried to include facts and information on both our Facebook page and this blog to promote awareness of both Sexual Assault and services that are available to victims and survivors.

We hope that you took the time this April to commemorate Sexual Assault Awareness Month and remember to honor victims throughout the year by providing care, empowerment, and support.
