The Alliance’s mission is to prevent sexual violence in Connecticut and foster a statewide network of support for victims and survivors. Its work includes survivor-centered, trauma-informed services; training and technical assistance for member centers and communities; community education; and legal and policy advocacy.

For example, the Sexual Assault Crisis Center of Eastern Connecticut says it provides counseling and education to sexual assault victims, their families, and the community; the Rape Crisis Center of Milford says it provides crisis intervention and other necessary services for victims of sexual assault. Other recipients describe broader work: the Center for Family Justice aims to break cycles of domestic, sexual, and child abuse through services, education, and community collaboration, while the Center for Empowerment and Education describes its work as breaking cycles of interpersonal violence through empowerment, education, and support.
