SASO recognizes that every survivor will have a different response to an incidence of sexual violence. Cultural outreach is an effort to recognize individual differences so that clients are served in a culturally responsive manner. Our outreach efforts also work to increase awareness and accessibility to the services that we provide. The SASO team connects with various organizations in La Plata County so that we are fully aware of the resources that are available to individuals. These connections allow for a better community response to sexual violence by encouraging service providers to refer individuals to SASO.
