April is in important month at CVC, it's Sexual Assault Awareness Month, a time for us to bring our community together to acknowledge the reality of sexual violence, support survivors, and highlight primary sexual violence prevention.

At CVC, we see every day how vital it is to create spaces where survivors are believed, supported, and empowered. Awareness is more than recognition, it’s action. It’s having conversations that may feel uncomfortable, educating ourselves and others, and standing up for a culture rooted in respect and accountability.

We were honored to welcome Senator Carolyn Comitta, Rep. Chris Pielli , Mayor Lillian DeBaptiste, Chester County Commissioner Eric Roe, County Commissioner Marian Moskowitz and Commissioner Josh Maxwell as well as so many others from our community to kick off last week at our office in West Chester. Especially grateful that Respect Together CEO Yolanda Edrington was also able to join us from Harrisburg!

We are grateful that they join us this month, and every month, to stand with survivors, support our primary prevention, and be part of the change. We know that together, we can make a difference.
