The first video in our Building a CCR Team EMPOWER Series provides a foundational framework for Coordinated Community Response (CCR) to DVSAS on campus. This video can be used to support your efforts to build a CCR Team on your campus, as you engage administrative leadership, engage with stakeholders and partners, and in meetings to explain the significance of the CCR Team to your campus community.

Campus Coordinated Community Response (CCR) Teams serve a vital role in facilitating survivor support and institutional response to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking (DVSAS). These teams often face complex challenges, from shifting campus climates to high staff turnover and exposure to vicarious trauma.

Campus Coordinated Community Response (CCR) Teams are designed to help campuses establish goals, evaluate response, and envision effective ways to address domestic and dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking (DVSAS). Any CCR Team member can use this guide as a step-by-step tool in either creating or assessing their campus DVSAS protocols.

This document uses the terms victim and survivor interchangeably to respect the different ways individuals self-identify and to acknowledge the complexity of personal experiences.

The purpose of this repository is to provide Historically Black Colleges and Universities with a framework for violence prevention, education and training resources. These resources provide just-in-time knowledge for all who are involved with the prevention, education and training of sexual assault, dating violence and stalking on campuses. Find articles, podcasts, videos, recorded material/tv show clips, webinars, and reports to inform your teaching, learning, educational scholarship, and use of technology.

The Repository is curated by Ujima, The National Center on Violence Against Women in the Black Community. If you would like to learn more about a tool or resource listed here, or cannot find what you need, please contact us.
