Victim assistance - mcedsv provides direct services To victims by providing the state of Michigan Sexual assault hotline and the survivor law clinic. The state of Michigan Sexual assault hotline provides a confidential voice To listen, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week for survivors of Sexual Violence. The survivor law clinic seeks To make crime victims' rights more meaningful for all Michigan victims.

Both of these resources seek To serve individual survivors and also improve outcomes for all survivors by modeling best practices in survivor-centered, intersectional, trauma-informed work.

Prevention services - delta impact (Domestic Violence prevention enhancement and leadership through alliances) and rpe (rape prevention education) have collaborated To integrate intimate partner Violence (ipv) and Sexual Violence prevention work in Michigan.

Both also support the activism conservatory, which is a prevention-oriented community of practice dedicated To ending Domestic and Sexual Violence through social justice and prevention efforts. Our goal is To build a structured space where programs doing diverse models of prevention and community-based work can support each other, discuss best-practices, and broaden their work.
