April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

At Dallas Area Rape Crisis Center, survivor-centered care does not happen by accident. It is built, trained, and sustained. Throughout April, we are inviting our community to show up in ways that strengthen prevention, response, and steady support for survivors.

Join us on March 27, 2026 for Illuminate, an evening that reimagines healing, resilience, and community.

Produced by AEN, the team behind AURORA, this immersive event will feature light, movement, and powerful art installations that honor survivors and celebrate the courage to heal.

Sponsorships are available now—show your support and be part of a night that shines a light on hope and transformation.

This Lunch & Learn explores research-informed, digital approaches to teaching affirmative sexual consent during adolescence. Dr. Hannah Javidi will discuss why consent education is especially important for teens, the benefits of digital health interventions, and insights from the PACT (Promoting Affirmative Consent among Teens) program, including its goals, successes, and future directions.

Attendees will gain practical knowledge to support prevention, education, and advocacy efforts.
CEU credits are available.

This engaging and timely presentation explores how technology intersects with sexual violence and youth safety. Led by Q. Olivia Rivers, CEO of The Bridge Over Troubled Waters, Let’s Talk About Sext examines the social media platforms, language, and emojis most commonly used by youth, while identifying practical strategies to prevent online sexual violence. Participants will leave with tools, resources, and insights to help protect young people and foster digitally empowered, informed communities.

Here at DARCC, our volunteers are critical when it comes to providing advocacy and support to survivors of sexual assault. Whether that be by answering our 24/7 crisis hotline, accompanying a survivor to the hospital after an assault, or providing legal advocacy, DARCC Volunteers make a huge impact on the survivors they assist.
