Solace's María José Rodríguez Cádiz on providing healing and support to sexual assault survivors

Solace Sexual Assault Services has been providing support and healing for survivors of sexual assault and child abuse for more than 50 years. The nonprofit organization offers forensic interviewing, therapy, advocacy services and education and prevention services in the Santa Fe area. Executive Director María José Rodríguez Cádiz has been with Solace for more than 23 years, helping the organization offer its services to survivors at no cost. She joins the latest episode of “Conversations Different” to discuss the prevalence of sexual assault in New Mexico and the role of Solace in the community to provide survivors with support. With the threat of funding cuts under the Trump administration, Rodríguez Cádiz talks about how Solace plans to work proactively to bridge the gap in the event of a decline in federal funding.
