A message from RCC Executive Director Daniele Dreitzer

Hello!

The addition of the Nevada Women’s Philanthropy (NWP) Signs of Hope Counseling Center has been a critical part of RCC’s ongoing mission and expansion to more completely meet the many needs of survivors of sexual abuse and assault and their families. The vital group and individual counseling sessions supported by NWP’s generosity that occur within our facility have become a hallmark of our center. We are proud to say we serve approx. 300 victims annually through the center.

We rely, in part, on social media to spread the word about our counseling center and all of the services we offer through RCC to the community. To even better serve this mission, we ask you to please ‘like’ the RCC Facebook page if you haven’t already. On June 28 we will consolidate the NWP Signs of Hope Counseling Center page within the RCC page and we want to make sure you still receive important messages surrounding the center and all of RCC’s services! We are, after all, all on the same team and we want to make sure that everyone understands that counseling has become core to our mission and integrated with all of the other aspects of our services.  This merger will make sure our messages are streamlined for you and help you spread the word to anyone you know in one easy step!

Thank you sincerely for your continued support of our mission.  Please contact us at any time through Facebook, Twitter, or our office, and please encourage others to like and follow RCC so that anyone and everyone out there who may be in need of services is aware of the great access they have to counseling, support, and advocacy!

Celebrating Two Years of Progress: NWP Signs of Hope Counseling Center

Our Nevada Women’s Philanthropy Signs of Hope Counseling Center is reaching its two-year anniversary this month and we couldn’t be happier with its progress! In the past two years the counseling center has already provided assistance to more than 950 victims of sexual assault and we have all of you to thank for both your help and continued support!

We know there is a need for this center in the community and we hope it will continue to grow in the years to come. We are happy to have solidified collaboration with the District Attorney’s office, UNLV’s Marriage & Family Therapy School and UNLV’s School of Social Work.

We have several goals for 2013:

• We will increase our presence in the community and reach into more schools to make people more aware of what we have to offer as well as provide students with more preventative education measures.
• We know there is a growing need for adolescent therapy and our goal is to better incorporate that into our program.
• We are currently searching for a larger building so that we can create a specific play therapy for children and offer a trifecta of services for sexual assault – education, advocacy and therapy to all victims of all ages.

We want to give a special thanks to our staff, but also to everyone who helps victims regardless of age or gender. We wouldn’t be able to operate the center without all of the volunteer and staff support.

Let’s keep the momentum going!
