The OVC TTAC, in collaboration with SAPRO, has developed Strengthening Military-Civilian Community Partnerships To Respond to Sexual Assault (SMCCP) training for military and community-based victim service agencies.
The program was developed to train community victim advocates on building effective partnerships with local military installations to enhance and extend the system of support for sexual assault victims in the military. Throughout this training, participants build knowledge about military systems, protocols, and culture to improve services offered to military sexual assault victims and learn to build successful collaborations between community-based programs and military installations.
