Join us for the 12th Annual SAFE/RCCAT Conference 

October 22, 2024
Moreno Valley Conference Center

The SAFE/ RCCAT Conference is designed to educate and empower the multi-disciplinary teams who work with victims of sexual assault, child abuse, and other forms of interpersonal violence. This year, the focus is on trauma; implicit bias; assisting survivors from marginalize populations; and a composite sketch artist will make her debut. The audience will be comprised of nurses, doctors, advocates, attorneys, law enforcement, behavioral health professionals, social workers, and anyone else who works with survivors of interpersonal violence. Join us on October 22, 2024 at the Moreno Valley Conference Center from 8 AM to 4:30 PM. Breakfast and lunch by Boys Republic!
