About This Survey
With support from the Office for Victims for Crime, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice (OVC), FORGE -- a national transgender organization specializing in sexual violence -- is seeking responses from a wide range of sexual assault service providers, sexual assault coalitions, SART/SANE teams, and allied sexual assault professionals on their current practices and training preferences.
The purpose of this survey is to help FORGE and the Office for Victims of Crime better understand the training needs of professionals working with sexual assault survivors and develop strategies and practices to meet these training needs. FORGE encourages multiple responses from individual agencies, as well as forwarding of this survey to other professionals or agencies who serve sexual assault survivors.
Reported results of this survey will not disclose any individual or agency’s name, or denote any identifying information about an individual or agency respondent. Results will highlight trends, needs, directions for further research, and recommendations about current and future training initiatives.
Survey deadline: Please respond before November 22, 2011.
