ICSAIC/Support Within Reach COVID-19 3/16
Support Within Reach Sexual Violence Resource Center remains open and serving clients to the highest degree possible.
The following guidelines have been implemented on an agency-wide basis:
- All large events have been canceled or postponed if possible, including our Fiesta scheduled for April 6
- All meetings, training or education of ten or more are going to virtual options including ongoing meetings
- As of now, all services are being provided for clients with social distancing in mind
Expect to see this when you are working with SWR and it is posted in our offices:
We are OPEN and here for you! We also want to make sure everyone can be as healthy as possible during the COVID-19 outbreak. Please know that we are implementing social distancing at this time (maintaining at least 6 feet whenever possible). We will be washing our hands and wiping all surfaces anytime we have shared space with one another, it’s not personal! We request no handshakes, hugs, fist-bumps or other close contacts at this time. SWR practices non-discrimination and so does COVID-19, help us all stay healthy!
How this affects the Itasca County Sexual Assault Interagency Council (ICSAIC) is that we will forego in-person meetings until further notice. Technology options are being researched and will be offered.
We continue to have access to hospitals with special screening procedures and will meet with clients in our offices one to one. Please let me know if you have questions and thank you for helping us get the word out so we can continue doing what we do best, serve our clients and participate with our partners in the Itasca County coordinated multi-disciplinary response to sexual violence!
Stay well,
