population specific assessments
What this Assessment is
The first needs assessment of this kind was done in 2015 by Maine Intercultural Communication Consultants. MECASA did another assessment in 2018 – those publications and this one are designed to give MECASA and its member centers information about Maine’s population-specific survivors. The assessments identified strengths and gaps in service provision along with making recommendations for increasing accessible and appropriate services for all survivors in Maine. We will continue to use this assessment to:
What this Assessment isn’t Turning survivor experiences into faceless data goes against the grain of our daily practices in the anti-sexual violence field. Empowerment, healing, and acquiring resources for survivors means training advocates in the skills of deep listening to honor an individual survivor’s complex, nuanced, and deeply personal needs. This assessment cannot capture or reflect those individual experiences or survivors’ compound identities in any meaningful way. This assessment is not a replacement for being in relationship and conversation with providers who offer culturally-and-community specific services. The expertise that lives within those agencies is dynamic and responsive; to be knowledgeable about their work is an on-going practice in re-prioritization. Finally, this assessment is not an adequate answer for those who never receive sexual assault services because they don’t know they exist, don’t know they are for them, don’t know how to find them, and/or because the services are not trusted. |
