| 80 SPEAKERS, 60
WORKSHOPS, 6 KEYNOTES |
|
A lineup of 80 speakers representing the five SART disciplines
and beyond will present 60 workshops and six keynotes at
the Fourth National SART Training Conference. Their
focus is expanding the capacity of SARTs to promote health
and healing of sexual assault victims, hold sex offenders
accountable for their crimes, and realize the hope of preventing
further sexual violence in their communities.
Four different tracks are represented in 1½ hour
and 3-hour workshops: General (addressing a broad
topic), Specialized (addressing a specific or emerging
issue), Specific Populations, and Interactive
Sexual Assault Scenario. Workshops in the General
and Specialized Tracks are geared to:
- Examine promising practices and emerging issues,
- Explore lessons that SARTs have learned through their
response to actual incidents and/or their efforts to
nurture multidisciplinary collaboration,
- Expand knowledge and improve technical skills
- Consider how to evaluate, sustain and advance SART
efforts.
The Specific Populations Track explores
how to remove barriers to services and justice faced by underserved
populations of victims. Integrated into the General,
Specialized, and Specific Populations Tracks are workshops
designed to facilitate discussion among presenters and participants
on dealing with local issues and problems

| New INTERACTIVE
SCENARIO TRACK |
This year we have added
a new and exciting training option, an Interactive Sexual
Assault Scenario that will unfold as the conference occurs!
A limited number of SARTs will work as teams, collecting
evidence at the scene of the crime through to testifying
at the trial, with training by some of our top trainers. Only
SART teams of four members representing different disciplines
will be registered to participate. Please note
that if you sign up for this option you must participate
in all eight sessions.
