Riverview Center received a grant from Variety – the Children’s Charity

Riverview Center has received a grant from Variety – the Children’s Charity to provide the essential tools and supplies our advocates and therapists need to have for the children they serve and that those materials reflect the individual needs to provide the most effective de-escalation, coping, and healing methods for survivors in the community and the children we serve come from diverse backgrounds and experiences.

Riverview Center is a nonprofit organization serving 14 counties in the Northeast Region of Iowa providing sexual assault support services and we are the only agency providing either sexual or domestic violence services in Jo Daviess and Carroll Counties in Illinois. Our services are free regardless of biological sex, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, immigration status, English proficiency, race and/or ethnicity, incarceration status, disability or background. Riverview Center is a safe space.

The Variety grant will be used to provide Riverview Center’s advocates and therapists supplies to custom-tailor our services to the needs of the children served, including kinetic sand and other items to address sensory needs, therapeutic games, fidget toys, snacks for the youth who have appointments during normal meal/snack times or who have food insecurity, art and journaling supplies to support trauma-informed coping skills and therapeutic interventions, and other supplies to ensure services are uniquely tailored and trauma-informed to create a healthy, healing environment.
