• COVE BEGAN IN 1978 IN RESPONSE TO THE LACK OF SEXUAL ASSAULT SERVICES IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES. OVER FORTY YEARS LATER, WE HAVE GONE BACK TO OUR ROOTS TO STRENGTHEN AND EXPAND OUR SEXUAL ASSAULT SERVICES IN MANISTEE, MASON, LAKE AND OCEANA COUNTIES. TODAY, WE PROVIDE SEXUAL ASSAULT VICTIMS/SURVIVORS FREE, CONFIDENTIAL, SUPPORTIVE AND HEALING SERVICES 24 HOURS A DAY, 365 DAYS A YEAR. SERVICES INCLUDE EMERGENCY CRISIS INTERVENTION, COUNSELING AND ADVOCACY. OUR GOAL IS TO; EMPOWER SURVIVORS TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS; INCREASE SURVIVORS KNOWLEDGE AND COPING SKILLS TO ASSIST THEM IN MANAGING THEIR EMOTIONS; AND ENCOURAGE AND PROVIDE SUPPORTIVE HEALING. COVE IS COMMITTED TO WALKING ALONGSIDE SURVIVORS, MEETING THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS AND CARING FOR THEM WITH DIGNITY, AND RESPECT IN AN EMPOWERING, HEALING MANNER. LAST YEAR, COVE SUPPORTED 64 ADULTS AND CHILDREN WHO WERE SEXUAL ASSAULT SURVIVORS IN THEIR HEALING JOURNEY. TO FURTHER ASSIST SEXUAL ASSAULT SURVIVORS, COVE PROVIDES SEXUAL ASSAULT NURSE EXAMINER (SANE) FORENSIC MEDICAL EXAMS IN OUR ONSITE SANE UNIT. DNA EVIDENCE CAN INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF HOLDING A PERPETRATOR ACCOUNTABLE AND FACTS SHOW THAT SANE UNITS INCREASE REPORTING, CHARGES FILED AND CONVICTION RATES. FORENSICALLY TRAINED NURSES ACCOMPANIED BY ADVOCATES PROVIDED 19 MEDICAL FORENSIC EXAMS FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT SURVIVORS LAST YEAR. ALTHOUGH COVE CONTINUED TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO SEXUAL ASSAULT SURVIVORS THROUGHOUT COVID-19 AS AN ESSENTIAL LIFE-SAVING SERVICE PROVIDER, OUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE SAFE, SOCIALLY DISTANCED FORENSIC MEDICAL EXAMS WAS SEVERALY IMPACTED BY THE PANDEMIC AND SURVIVORS DESIRE TO REQUEST EXAMS.
