Overview
In 2007, SVJI launched a national technical assistance project to provide consultation, training, and technical assistance to interdisciplinary sexual assault response teams across the country. Special features of the project include: in-depth consultation and training with selected teams, national training for interdisciplinary teams to enhance their system coordination, and tools and resources to assist teams in their work.
Project
Teams will follow the Protocol Development Cycle as a framework to identify strengths and weaknesses in their response to sexual violence. Teams will then design policies and interagency protocols to improve their response. Each team will design and conduct their own training, monitoring, and evaluation initiatives that shape a cycle of continuous improvement. SVJI will offer training, consultation, and assistance to teams within each segment of the cycle. Additionally, SVJI has resources to help navigate team formation and sustainability issues.
Site Selection
Four multidisciplinary teams working to improve their community's response to sexual violence are being sought by the Sexual Violence Justice Institute @ MNCASA for this project. The submission deadline is October 3rd, 2008. Applications should be submitted to svji@mncasa.org. We are happy to answer any questions teams may have about the process or application details. SVJI staff can be reached at the same email address, or by calling 800-964-8847.
