- Riverview Center is unique in that it is the only non-culturally specific agency in the 14 county Northeast Region of Iowa providing sexual assault services and the only agency providing sexual assault or domestic violence services in the 2 counties we serve in Illinois. Unlike other mental health agencies, all of the services are provided absolutely free of charge regardless of biological sex, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, immigration status, English proficiency, race and/or ethnicity, housing or incarceration status, or disability. Statement continued on Schedule O. Riverview Center promoted, encouraged, and facilitated the reduction of incidences and effects of sexual assault through victim support services. We are grateful for our strong partnerships with law enforcement agencies, hospitals, schools and organizations and have emerged as a crucial resource for the community in how to best assist survivors as they work to overcome obstacles created by the trauma of violence. We educate about how to be an ally and an active bystander when sexual or domestic violence is suspected or witnessed and how to best support survivors on their journey toward healing.
