Access Empowers.
After an unwanted sexual encounter, it shouldn't be hard to find the help you need.
We listen. We adapt.
We fill in the gaps.
Right now, in Dane County, a survivor of an unwanted sexual encounter is falling into the abyss of post-assault support services. Spiraling through web searches, phone calls, and office visits, survivors have to re-tell the story of their assault countless times to strangers along the way.
DaneMAC empowers survivors by building solutions that make it easier for them to access the help they want, whenever and wherever they want it. We envision a new standard of care that adapts to the ever-evolving needs, cultural norms, and expectations of the community we serve.
