Please join The Rowan Center as we recognize Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). Your involvement and support mean so much to our organization and all the people in the 8 towns we serve- from survivors and their families, to students, to volunteers and advocates. We are grateful that Westport's First Selectwoman Jennifer Tooker will be issuing a proclamation in honor of SAAM, and we are looking forward to remarks from her, our staff, and other elected representatives. See you there!
Representatives from Kids in Crisis, The Rowan Center, and Fordham Emergency Medical Services will lead a candid and supportive panel discussion about preventing violence and staying safe on college campuses.
Grab a cup of coffee at one of our participating coffee shops and show your support for SAAM2025. Post a selfie and tag #therowancenter #SAAM
Make a difference during our annual SAAM Giving Day—a 24-hour opportunity to come together and support survivors of sexual violence in our communities.
Join The Rowan Center at Darien Library for a screening of Disfluency, a powerful film about healing. The film demonstrates how traumatic events have become so commonplace in our society that they become no more than an "um" or "whatever" or "sorry". Directed by Anna Baumgarten, Disfluency has received positive critical acclaim and garnered significant recognition, winning Best Narrative Feature and Audience Choice Award at several film festivals, including the Austin Film Festival.
Join us for a day of community, workshops, resources, and education focused on sexual health.
Join us for a free yoga session hosted by BK Yoga.
Join an annual international campaign to raise awareness about sexual violence and support survivors by wearing denim as a visible form of protest and solidarity. The campaign began after a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court in the 1990s, which overturned a rape conviction because the victim was wearing tight jeans—implying consent. Participating in Wear Denim Day is a simple yet powerful way to spark conversation and support change. Post a selfie in your denim and tag #therowancenter #SAAM.
