Mobile Application For Sexual Assault Survivors Launches
Salt Lake City, Utah, February 16, 2018– Today the Utah Coalition Against Sexual Assault announced the launch of a new mobile application called You Are A Survivor. The new mobile application is designed to support sexual assault survivors and their families. After several months of testing and development, this all-mobile experience puts important resources and support in the hands of sexual assault survivors and their families. It is available free of charge on the Apple Store and Google Play Store.
The You Are A Survivor mobile application includes a variety of information, resources, and links to service providers.
“Today marks the beginning of a new era in our efforts to serve sexual assault survivors across the state. This mobile application is the culmination of decades of innovation aimed at reducing the isolation that many survivors feel after an assault.” -Turner C. Bitton, Executive Director
The You Are A Survivor mobile application features:
- Resources for Survivors: reporting options, understanding trauma, legal options, and the rights of victims.
- Resources for Friends and Family: understanding what is happening, supporting your loved one, reporting options, and responding to child sexual abuse.
Subsequent updates and versions of the You Are A Survivor mobile application are planned. Additional resources and information are added regularly. Users can download the app at UCASA.org/app.
