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

Hi Sarah and all,

 

We currently do this here at Harper. Here is a copy of our MOU with our local victim services agency. Also, here is our brochure that we provide which references them. I also created wallet cards that provide contact information for incident reporting/resources, so here is a proof of that. Let me know if you’d like anything else.

 

We also reference them on our website: http://harpercollege.edu/titleIX

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
