CCRT Structure Coordinated Community Response Team The University of South Dakota CCRT chose a name as part of the Strategic Planning process. ICARE exemplifies the shared values of the group.

ICARE Mission: ICARE is committed to preventing and responding to sexual assault in the University of South Dakota community through programming and advocacy.

ICARE Values: Inclusion, Compassion, Advocacy, Respect, and Engagement Narrative: In order to create a comprehensive program meeting the complex and multiple components of sexual assault education, ICARE will work to achieve three overarching goals. Throughout our work, the ICARE team will address the needs of marginalized groups and integrate male allies.

GOAL 1. Campus and Community Engagement through Educational Programming and Advocacy GOAL 2. Create a Marketing Plan and Social Media presence GOAL 3. Reduce Sexual Assaults on Campus and Increase Reporting Constituents: The Coordinated Community Response Team is made up of an intersectional group across campus departments and programs, as well as City of Vermillion community members.

Structure and Communication: The Coordinated Community Response Team is a core group of individuals who meet bi-monthly to address the goals and actions of the grant and fulfill these obligations strategically. Members of the CCRT are the primary travelers to the Technical Training Institutes and also the leads on the sub-committees. There are subgroups of the CCRT that are inclusive of other members across campus and the community. Each sub-committee has a Team Leader who is in charge of setting up and running meetings. The Team Leader sits on CCRT (a steering committee format) and reports the sub-committee work to the larger CCRT. We have invited key stakeholders to the table and have invited others to sit on sub-committees. Sub committees also meet bi-monthly. Communication is done through email, meetings, a SharePoint Drive and Google Doc. Every Wednesday, an email will be sent out to the team by the Project Coordinator outlining updates, presenting deadlines, and encouraging any work that needs to be done. This email is intended to keep up communication and keep the team task centered.

Victim Services & Advocacy Plan The Advocacy subcommittee is responsible for developing referral processes, response protocols, and supports to ensure 24-hour accessibility to confidential victim services through partnering with a community-based provider. This subcommittee will also work to ensure that policies and practices across different responders are trauma informed and victim-centered.

To accomplish the requirements of the OVW grant, ICARE has partnered with Domestic Violence Safe Option Services (DV SOS) which places us at Starting Point 2. DV SOS is the confidential provider for support on interpersonal violence issues that serves the county in which USD is located. It is hoped that the partnership will result in an increase in demand for DV SOS services as university students learn about, and engage in, DV SOS services. As such, ICARE is supplementing DV SOS’s resources through providing money for the 24-hour hotline, building rental, and paying for half the salary of a Campus Liaison. The person in this position will serve as a core member of ICARE, will travel to TTI’s, and will work to advertise DV SOS’s services to the USD community.

While the partnership for services is with DV SOS (as it is our only local agency), we have also partnered with the Statewide organization (The Network) and are working on partnering with The Coalition (which provides more services to native women in the state).
