Minnesota Sexual Assault Response Teams
We provide in-depth support to 11 Minnesota SMARTeams (Sexual Assault Multidisciplinary Action Response Teams) that receive funding from the Office of Justice Programs. We host trainings, develop tools, offer opportunities for networking and resource-sharing, build connections, and provide consultation to help SMART Site Coordinators enhance leadership skills, equitably engage team members, and facilitate a collaborative systems change process.
We provide:
- Monthly calls for Site Coordinators
- A biannual Site Coordinator Retreat
- An annual training opportunity for all Minnesota teams called the All Team Event
