What is Resilience?
Resilience, formerly known as RVA, is dedicated to supporting survivors of sexual assault with dignity and compassion. The organization operates with a dual focus on providing direct social services and driving social change. By offering nonjudgmental emotional support in Chicago area emergency rooms, Resilience empowers victims to transition into survivors. The organization also provides essential legal and medical information, facilitates referrals to other service providers, and offers ongoing support through telephone follow-up, counseling, and legal advocacy. This comprehensive approach aims to help survivors regain control over their lives swiftly. Furthermore, Resilience actively collaborates with institutions like the Chicago Police Department and the Cook County State's Attorney's Office to advocate for improved systemic responses to survivors.

This strategic investment will likely fuel initiatives aimed at broadening its reach within the Chicago area and potentially beyond, strengthening its advocacy efforts, and deepening its impact on institutional change. The organization's focus on both direct aid and systemic reform suggests future capital will be allocated to scaling its counseling, advocacy, and education programs, ensuring more survivors receive comprehensive support and that societal responses evolve positively.
