when someone says we’re one of the largest r**e crisis centers in the country but that’s just one of the interesting things about us…

Because of the support of our volunteers, partners, and compassionate community members, survivors across NE Ohio have accessed the dignity, respect, and care they deserve to heal and thrive for over fifty years. Together, we can continue to build a future free from sexual violence.

Last Friday, the Ashtabula Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) was proud to present the 2026 Ashtabula SART conference. This year’s theme “Hidden Vulnerabilities: Online Exploitation of Children and Our Collaborative Responses” highlighted the importance of digital privacy, sextortion, and online exploitation, and how responsible adults can help young people navigate the online world safely.

On behalf of the Ashtabula SART team, we want to extend our gratitude to the speakers who shared their knowledge and insight, and to the attendees who engaged in meaningful conversations on how we can better support the youth in our lives. We also want to thank Signature Health for providing a safe space to have these critical conversations.

Together, we can ensure young people know who they can turn to when they encounter harmful online behavior.

A lot has changed since the 70s and 80s, but our commitment to supporting survivors and ending sexual violence is stronger than ever.

Advocates, professionals, and educators are invited to submit proposals to present at the Cuyahoga County Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) conference.
