Counseling - DARCC provides professional, trauma-informed counseling services to those impacted by any form of sexual violence (includes sexual abuse, assault, harassment, stalking, etc.), all at NO COST to the survivors or their loved ones. DARCCs clinical team is made up of licensed, master's-level counselors or interns under the supervision of licensed staff. Counseling services include short- andlong-term individual, couple, family, and group counseling, and all services are guided by trauma-informed principles and techniques. The clinical team focuses on providing care to the whole person using various counseling interventions. These include art therapy, mindfulness, EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and more. In 2024, DARCCs counseling team continued to offer all services both virtually and in person based on the survivors' preferences and both in English and in Spanish. Language is never a barrier, and interpreters and language translation lines are utilized as necessary. 639 individuals received counseling support during the year.

Advocacy - DARCC provides immediate support to those impacted by sexual violence. All advocates, both staff and volunteer, complete a rigorous and comprehensive 40-hour, OAG-approved sexual assault advocate training provided by DARCC on a quarterly basis. These advocates accompany survivors to the hospital to provide support and information during the forensic sexual assault exam at any time of the day or night. They also staff DARCCs 24-hour crisis hotline and stand ready to offer expert crisis intervention, information, and referrals if needed, including referrals to no cost legal services. Advocates further provide clients with ongoing support services such as criminal legal accompaniment, assistance with Crime Victim's Compensation and Texas VINE (Victim Information & Notification Every day), and support finding resources to meet basic needs. In 2024, the advocacy team trained 134 community volunteers who provided 18,067 hours of hotline and hospital advocacy. In total, DARCC advocates accompanied 406 survivors during their forensic exams and supported 1,767 survivors with acute and ongoing advocacy needs. DARCC volunteers and staff responded to 2,085 hotline calls through the 24/7 sexual assault line.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2024 – Dec 31, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$416.9KCommunity Engagement Against Sexual Violence
