The Washington State Sexual Assault Services Standards (SFY25) is a regulatory appendix published by the Office of Crime Victims Advocacy (OCVA). It defines the mandatory service categories and specific training requirements for Accredited Community Sexual Assault Programs, as well as Specialized and Culturally-Specific service providers. The document outlines the definitions, goals, and required activities for "Core Services"—including 24-hour Crisis Intervention, Legal Advocacy, and Medical Advocacy—alongside optional services like Primary Prevention. Crucially, it provides a comprehensive training matrix that mandates specific initial and ongoing training hours for different roles, such as the 30-hour Advocate Core Training and specialized orientations for prevention and therapy.
