The Sexual Assault Advocate Training Institute (SAATI) is designed for staff at community- and campus-based sexual and domestic violence advocacy programs. It is also appropriate for staff at law enforcement and district attorney’s victim assistance programs. 

SAATI will increase participants’ knowledge and skills to support survivors of sexual assault as well as provide participants with information and tools to bring back to their agency to train other staff and volunteers.

SAATI covers core topics, including:

• sexual assault dynamics and effects
• culturally responsive crisis intervention and advocacy
• medical options
• criminal justice options
• civil legal options

Registration Information:

This training is for members only. We will have opportunities to attend the training for agencies/organizations who are not members in the future.

Waitlist: Because attendance is limited, only one member from each member agency will be added to the registration list. Any additional member staff persons interested in the training will be placed on a waitlist. We will be in touch with notification of waitlist status.  

—Initially, everyone will be added to the waitlist when you register. We will move you to the confirmed list as we verify membership. Email maria@ccasa.org with questions.

*We recommend the remaining 4 hours include agency- and community-specific information, such as agency policies and procedures, community resources, coordinated community response, etc.

**Schedule will be Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 9am- 3pm, but end time may vary from day to day. Come prepared to do individual work as well as trainer-led activities. Detailed schedule to come.
