Strengthening Military-Civilian Community Partnerships to Respond to Sexual Assault (Office for Victims of Crime/2015)

The Office for Victims of Crime offers a two-day interactive training designed to help communities and military installations build partnerships to effectively respond to the needs of sexual assault victims in the military. The "Strengthening Military-Civilian Community Partnerships to Respond to Sexual Assault" course description follows:

"The military has its own way of life – its own social structure, unique hierarchy, and even its own laws. Community-based victim service providers who are not familiar with the military may find it baffling and impenetrable. But when a sexual assault involves both community and military providers, both parties must know how to work together to support the victim more effectively."
