SURVIVOR ADVOCACY NETWORK
For Sexual Assault Survivors who attended a Military Service Academy or who participated in a commissioning program of any kind regardless of program completion status.
Who We Are
The Survivor Advocacy Network (SAN) is a joint-service group which provides healing, connection, advocacy, and education to survivors of sexual assault (women and men) who attended a military service academy (MSA) (regardless of graduation status) and survivors who participated in any commissioning program (regardless of program completion status). Many of our programs also serve friends and family of survivors, sexual assault prevention and response professionals, and healing practitioners who serve survivors. We seek to partner with others who do this work in the broader military/veteran community: fellow advocates, educators, and health practitioners who serve survivors. We are also committed to building cultures free of sexual assault and harassment in the military academies, and the active-duty military at large. The SAN is a committee of USNA Women which is affiliated with the U. S. Naval Academy Alumni Association. However, our membership reaches across all the MSA's and our mission includes all branches of the military
We develop and conduct a variety of virtual and in person educational healing events to support survivors of sexual assault who began or completed a commissioning program. We have partnerships with alumnae affinity groups at each of the service academies and are building bridges to other organizations and institutions that want to partner in our work.
