SUMMARY:Advocates' Call
DESCRIPTION:Monthly call for advocates from Partner Programs only. You must log in to Coalition Manager to register. \n  \nJoin us for an Advocate Call on Sexual Safety Planning! MNCASA is continuing to develop a new Sexual Safety Planning resource\, and we’d love your input. \n  \nFollowing our listening session at Symposium\, we’re hosting an Advocacy Call to gather additional perspectives from advocates across Minnesota. Whether you attended the Symposium session or are joining the conversation for the first time\, your feedback will help shape the resource. \n  \nWe will briefly share what we heard at the Symposium and how we’ve incorporated that feedback. Then we’ll focus on a new set of questions to help make the resource more useful for advocates and survivors. \n  \nIf you attended the Symposium session\, some ideas will be familiar\, but the discussion will build on what we learned together. If you weren’t able to attend\, this is a great opportunity to learn about the project and contribute your perspective. \n  \nASL interpretation will be available if needed\, and auto-captioning will be provided. Please let us know how we can make this call accessible to you when you register.

SUMMARY:MNSART Connection Call
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this month’s MNSART Connection Call as we explore what it means to build a trauma-informed system of response. Together\, we’ll examine how communication\, coordination\, and collaboration across disciplines can either reduce or contribute to system-induced trauma. Whether your team is just beginning to strengthen its collaborative response or is looking to refine established practices\, this conversation will provide strategies to help your SART build a more coordinated\, survivor-centered\, and trauma-informed system.

SUMMARY:MNSART Connection Call: Case File Review for SARTs (Refresher & Overview)
DESCRIPTION:This Connection Call provides a refresher and shared understanding of the Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) case file review process. The training is designed to support multidisciplinary teams: law enforcement\, advocacy\, prosecution\, medical forensic examiners\, and other partners\, in strengthening coordinated sexual assault response through structured case file review. Case file review is a systems-change tool that allows SARTs to examine real case documentation to better understand how sexual assault cases are actually processed within the criminal/legal system. Rather than focusing on individual performance\, the process identifies patterns\, themes\, gaps\, and strengths across agencies in order to improve victim-centered response\, interagency collaboration\, and system accountability. \n  \n\nFor participants from Minnesota only.\n\n  \nLearn more and register.
