Last week marked 19 years with KASAP for Emily, and we couldn’t let that milestone pass without celebrating her!

Emily brings so much heart, dedication, and care to this work, and we’re incredibly lucky to have her on our team. She says getting to do this work is an “honor and a privilege,” and we think Kentucky’s advocates and service providers are pretty lucky to have her supporting them, too!

Want to celebrate Emily with us? Head over to KASAP.org, find your regional sexual violence resource center, and give them a follow on social media! Supporting our local programs is one of the best ways to celebrate the work Emily has dedicated 19 years to.

Happy workiversary, Emily! Here’s to 19 years!

Yesterday KASAP had the opportunity to tour the Kentucky State Police forensic laboratory with 23 participants representing Sexual Violence Resource Center of the Bluegrass, Silverleaf Sexual Trauma Recovery Svcs., ASARC, The Rising Center, and Pathways Porchlight.

Opportunities like this give sexual assault response professionals a closer look at the forensic processes that support survivors and strengthen our understanding of the systems we work alongside every day.

Thank you to our partners at KSP for welcoming us and sharing your expertise!

If you're an advocate interested in a future tour, email Amanda at [email protected]!

Kentucky is well represented at the National Sexual Assault Conference (NSAC) this week!

KASAP staff and colleagues from Kentucky’s r**e crisis centers are gathering with advocates, prevention professionals, and sexual assault service providers from across the country to learn, connect, and share ideas.

At the RPE National Dialogue, Eve and Sarah connected with prevention leaders from across the Southeast, heard updates from the CDC, and explored how focusing on the positive and making space for joy can strengthen prevention work.

Excited to bring new ideas back home to the Commonwealth!

KASAP is continuing to support learning, connection, and professional development across Kentucky’s sexual violence resource centers with several upcoming trainings.

Over the next several weeks, our programs will have opportunities to learn from experts, strengthen their advocacy skills, and explore topics that support meaningful, survivor-centered work.

AI can be used to perpetrate harm, but it can also be a tool for safety, advocacy, and support.

As artificial intelligence and emerging technologies become part of our everyday lives, it’s important to understand both sides of the equation.

Join KASAP for our next webinar about how AI and technology can be misused in the context of sexual violence, as well as how survivors and agencies can strategically use these tools to support safety planning, help-seeking, advocacy, and evidence collection.

Thursday, September 10
10-11:30am ET / 9-10:30am CT

Today we’re celebrating Joan Mattingly! And because one celebration isn’t enough, we’re also getting ready to celebrate 14 years of Joan at KASAP later this month!

Joan has been part of the movement to end sexual violence for 27 years, and for the past 14 years, she’s been an essential part of the KASAP team. From keeping our finances on track to sharing her knowledge and expertise with our member programs, Joan brings dedication, wisdom, and a steady presence to everything she does.

In honor of her birthday, we went digging through the KASAP archives and found some gems! Enjoy this trip down memory lane!

Joan, thank you for all the ways you show up for KASAP, for our member programs, and for this movement. We’re so lucky to have you on our team! Happy birthday!

Today, KASAP’s Amanda Allen-Herm joined Pathways Porchlight staff at Morehead State University to support training for RAs and housing staff on responding to disclosures of sexual assault, along with important conversations about consent.

When someone tells you they've experienced sexual assault, knowing how to respond matters. As students return to campus, we’re proud to support the people who are often among the first to hear when a student needs help.

Prevention includes making sure those people are prepared to listen, respond, and connect students with support.

Grooming is now a crime in Kentucky. We don’t have to wait for a child to be harmed before we act.

During this week's KASAP training, participants learned how to recognize grooming behaviors and respond when concerns arise.

Some key takeaways:
- Trust your concerns.
- Report suspected grooming.
- Collaborate with your multidisciplinary team to ensure the child receives Children’s Advocacy Center services and a complete, coordinated response.

Thank you to everyone who continues strengthening Kentucky’s response to child sexual abuse through education, collaboration, and action.

If you have questions or want more information from yesterday's training, please contact KASAP's Chief Policy Officer Jenna Cassady at [email protected]

We're proud to celebrate the strong partnership between our member program, Silverleaf Sexual Trauma Recovery Svcs., and the dedicated leaders at Fort Knox who help strengthen support for survivors in their community.

Collaboration like this is at the heart of Kentucky's response to sexual violence. When military leaders, community organizations, and victim service providers work together, survivors have greater access to resources, advocacy, prevention education, and healing.

Thank you to the incredible partners at Fort Knox for your commitment to creating safer communities and ensuring survivors know they are not alone. And thank you to Silverleaf for continuing to build meaningful relationships that make this work possible!
