Regional Support Program
The Regional Support Program was created in an effort to meet the needs of our members and help better serve survivors at all levels. The Regional Support Program consists of six staff members that are based across the state to provide in-depth and comprehensive remote or on-site technical assistance and training to better increase capacity.
Collectively, the Regional Support staff also attend TAASA region meetings and can serve as a point of contact for media requests, press conferences, and interviews if needed to help further our mission, and to help further our member program’s reach to survivors in their area.
