ICESAHT Statewide Sexual Assault Conference Outstanding Service Award Winners!

ICESAHT sought nominations for service providers across the state who have shown exemplary commitment in the fight to end Sexual Assault and Human Trafficking. We were in search of leaders (with or without formal titles) in their disciplines; these individuals should “walk the walk” when it comes to providing compassionate, evidence-based, trauma-informed service to victims and survivors of sexual assault. 

After receiving dozens of nominations from all across the Hoosier state, ICESAHT is honored to announce the inaugural winners of the ICESAHT Statewide Sexual Assault Conference Outstanding Service Awards!
