Thank You!

By Fatima Jayoma

Welcome to the Rural Realities Blog! We wanted to express our gratitude to everyone who joined us for the Rural Sexual Violence Response National Conference this July. Special thanks to those who attended. Your participation made this event a success! Thank you also to our speakers for sharing their expertise and experiences with us.  

Don’t forget to check out the Rural Sexual Violence Response National Conference website to access conference materials.  

Looking ahead, we hope the knowledge gained and the connections made continue to grow. We invite you to join our monthly Connection Calls to discuss the current needs of SARTs. These calls are open to SART Coordinators, team members, coalition staff, and anyone involved with a SART. The calls are held every second Wednesday of the month from 2 PM to 3 PM CT. To add your team members to the invite list for these calls, please email us at [email protected] and we will make sure they’re included in our listserv. 

For those unable to attend the conference, we plan to offer some sessions virtually through webinars. In the meantime, we encourage you to reach out to us for technical assistance or training at [email protected]. Stay tuned for more updates, resources, and opportunities to connect. We look forward to seeing you at our future Connection Calls, webinars, and events. 

Thank you once again for your support!
