A coordinated community response approach ensures a timely, culturally relevant and respectful response to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking committed on or off campus. Implementing such an approach requires establishing a Coordinated Community Response Team (CCRT).
Spelman’s CCRT is a multi-disciplinary team of campus and community partners that meet regularly to assess, plan, monitor and evaluate campus prevention and response efforts. This team coordinates all prevention and intervention efforts; facilitates communication between key campus departments and community partners; ensures messages across efforts are consistent and reinforced; and ensures the system’s response to victims is seamless, consistent and supportive.

SPELMAN COLLEGE LAUNCHES WEEKLY PSYCHO-EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT GROUP FOR STUDENT SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT, INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE AND STALKING.
Through the Violence Prevention and Intervention Program, Spelman College is able to increase existing services by establishing a psycho-educational support group. This group will offer student victim/survivors a confidential place to explore impact of interpersonal violence and gain skills in their journey toward healing. The development of a psycho-educational support group is a collaboration between the Violence Prevention & Intervention Program and Counseling Center.
VP&I Peer Educators are dedicated students who are trained to be leaders who educate their peers about topics around consent, sexual violence prevention, bystander intervention, healthy relationships, and survivor support. Applications open annually in April.
