Training and Technical Assistance Center
At the New York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault, we are committed to leading and supporting efforts of our community – rape crisis programs, schools, organizations, and communities-at-large –to prevent and fight sexual violence while leading and supporting the field in best practices and knowledge.
The Training and Technical Assistance Center aims to provide survivor centered, trauma-informed, and culturally competent training for stakeholders in the public and private sector that work with and provide direct services to all survivors of sexual violence.

Enough is Enough Training and Technical Assistance
The Alliance also serves as one of two Training and Technical Assistance Providers for Enough is Enough (EIE) programs operating in New York City, Long Island, and Lower Hudson in partnership with the New York State Coalition Against Sexual Assault (NYSCASA). Our TTA Program works closely with programs on an individual level to provide customized training, policy, and programming advice, needs assessments, and educational opportunities. We also work regionally and at state level to increase the representation of the needs and rights of survivors, the programs that serve them, and the communities most affected by sexual violence through technical assistance, training, and advocacy. We provide educational resources, such as toolkits and webinars, designed to increase skills and knowledge of survivors, providers, policymakers, and the public about trends and needs related to innovative programs and best practices in sexual violence prevention and response.
