Indiana Coalition Against Sexual Assault, Inc (INCASA)

INCASA believes that sexual assault is a violent crime of power and domination that can be perpetrated against all person, and that the healing of victims cannot be separated from the healing of society.  INCASA is part of that society, and it recognizes that it must continually reassess its own attitudes and consciousness.

INCASA is an organization working toward the elimination of sexual assault and realizes that its most important goal must be to achieve its own non-existence.

INCASA provides assistance to sexual assault service providers, assisting with problem solving techniques, educating and training professionals, encouraging community collaborative responses, assisting with policy development and implementation in communities, providing support and advocacy to victims and professionals, and maintaining research activities and current information and data on activities and issues surrounding sexual assault. 

INCASA's website provides a statewide list of sexual assault resources.
