UCASA trains and certifies sexual assault victim advocates through UCASA's accredited 40-hour Rape Crisis Advocacy Training, which satisfies the requirements for sexual assault counselors as mandated by the Utah Confidential Communications Act (Utah Code 78-3C).

This training is open to volunteer and professional victim advocates, law enforcement, health care professionals, clergy, therapists and anyone else who would like to increase their comfort and competence in working with victims. You may also request for UCASA to come and present a specific module to your agency or group.
