Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

Hi Sarah (and all!)

WISE is a community program that is working in this model with Dartmouth College (and other non-residential campuses in our service area). I really think that it is such an important and promising strategy to maximize the work that’s been done in communities for decades and to eliminate unsustainable pressure on single individuals on campus.

 

Obviously the logistics, resources, and relationships are different in every community, but I’m thrilled to see the growing collaboration between all of us working to end violence. Just as a starting point, the model MOU from NotAlone.gov works really well. Happy to chat about our perspective with anyone interested!

Subject: Partnering w/Off-Campus Providers for Advocacy Services

 

Hello Colleagues,

I am seeking information on successful approaches when partnering with off-campus service providers for advocacy services for students.

 

Our campus is in the process of transitioning away from a model of having 1 campus employee serving in a 24/7 on-call capacity for student survivors of sexual assault, dating abuse, domestic violence and stalking.  Our new approach will be to collaborate with a well-respected local agency which provides comprehensive confidential advocacy services for survivors and is located within 5 minutes of campus – this agency will now respond to any incoming calls after hours and on weekends and holiday breaks. We will still have an on campus Victim Advocate available for students as well during normal business hours (but this advocate will have reporting obligations through Clery).

 

If your campus partners w/a local service provider in a similar way I would love to connect over the phone for a few minutes to chat about what your experience with this model.  Or, please feel free to share your thoughts directly w/me via email at .

 

Specifically I’m interested in learning:

-How this partnership is described in your website/marketing materials for students

-What type of language is included in an MOU between your university and the agency

-What type of training was essential for this partnership to run smoothly for all parties

-What efforts are in place to keep this partnership running smoothly for all parties

-How have survivors been impacted by this partnership

 

Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom, I’m grateful for this list-serv. It has been a phenomenal resource for me!

 

Kindly,

Sarah
