New Jersey Coalition Against Sexual Assault (NJCASA) 2333 Whitehorse Mercerville Rd., Suite B Trenton, New Jersey 08619 Tel: 609-631-4450 http://www.njcasa.org The mission of the New Jersey Coalition Against Sexual Assault is to promote the compassionate and just treatment of victims and their loved ones, foster collaborative relationships between community systems and affect attitudinal and behavioral changes in society as we work toward the elimination of sexual violence against all people. NJCASA board members and other volunteers have been successfully helping the victims of sexual assault since 1981. Since September 1999, thanks to generous grants made through the State Office of Victim Witness Advocacy and the State's Division on Women in the Department of Community Affairs, NJCASA has a fully staffed Trenton office. NJCASA is the collective voice for rape crisis centers in all 21 counties throughout the state of NJ, each of which operates as an individual unit. With the opening of the Trenton office, NJCASA has increased its advocacy on behalf of assault victims on a statewide level.
