STRENGTHENING MILITARY-CIVILIAN COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS TO RESPOND TO SEXUAL ASSAULT

The purpose of this program is to train local community victim advocates on building effective partnerships with local military installations to enhance and extend the system of support for sexual assault victims in the military. Throughout this training, participants build knowledge about military systems, protocols, and culture to improve service provision to sexual assault victims in the military and to develop an appreciation of the perspectives of their future collaborative partners. With the knowledge gained through this training process and their own expertise in sexual assault, local community victim advocates will be able to serve as knowledgeable resources to military installations. Participants will also discuss and identify strategies to form successful collaborations between community programs and military installations in providing effective services to victims of sexual assault.
