Training
IowaCASA provides training for sexual assault advocates across the state. An advocate is a trained professional whose job it is to support those who have experienced sexual violence.
We also provide training for professionals who work regularly with survivors, such as lawyers, nurses, and law enforcement.
​
On average, IowaCASA trains 500-1,000 people every year. Our training process for advocates includes certification, as outlined under Iowa law.
