State Victim Assistance Academy

The Rhode Island State Victim Assistance Academy (RISVAA) is a foundation-level experience geared toward victim service providers new to the field of victim services.

The goal is to bring providers together in an interactive, educational setting to encourage creative thinking about ways to best help victims of crime and to build collaborative partnerships within the victim services community.

The academy--made possible through a collaboration between Family Service of RI and Roger Williams University--is based on the National Victim Assistance Academy curriculum developed by the Office for Victims of Crime and sponsored by the United States Department of Justice.
