An Overview of the CCR and SART Projects

The Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault works to develop a consistent, systemic, and multidisciplinary response to sexual assault statewide through the Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) and the Coordinated Community Response Team (CCR) projects. The missions of the CCR and SART Coordinators are to provide support and technical assistance to communities as they develop and implement guidelines, protocols, and awareness/prevention strategies designed to achieve a victim-centered, multidisciplinary response to sexual assault.

This is achieved by:

SART

The primary purpose of a Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) is to provide a resource for communities surrounding systemic response to sexual assault. Although similar to a Coordinated Community Response Team (CCR), a SART is smaller in number and made up of members from four disciplines.

CCR

The purpose of a Coordinated Community Response Team (CCR) is to provide a multidisciplinary approach and response to issues around sexual assault. The CCR teams can assist service providers and system members in communication, networking, and collaboration, bringing to light gaps in protocols or other services needed to support victims. The team is ALSO a place where members of the community, offender treatment providers, schools, and clergy members work together with system/service providers to discuss sexual assault and its effect on the community, and then equally and collectively participate in developing services, planning events, and creating prevention strategies needed to boost community awareness and decrease sexual violence.  While the CCR team has some of the same service/system members as the SART, it is considerably larger and includes other professionals, community members, and stakeholders.

Members of a CCR Team may include:
