System change in protocol, procedures, and routine practice is a key element in improving the response to sexual violence. We work with communities to create a comprehensive, victim-centered response through multidisciplinary collaborations, leadership development, training, and technical assistance.As a state and national technical assistance provider for Minnesota Office of Justice Programs and the Office of Violence Against Women, we share our decades of experience to increase knowledge and improve how responders work with victims/survivors and each other. We provide specialized support for rural grantees, STOP (Services, Training, Officers, and Prosecutor) Administrators, teams considering Case File Review, Minnesota Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) Collaboration Project, and leaders conducting evaluation or needs assessment.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2023 – Jun 30, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$968.5KPrevention Programming Against Sexual Violence
