Coordinated Community Response Team

The Coordinated Community Response Team (CCRT) is a team of campus and community partners that meet regularly to assess, plan, monitor, and evaluate campus prevention and response efforts. As a working group, the CCRT does not discuss individual cases on campus, but rather focuses on building a coordinated, collaborative, sustainable, and systemic response. By building a team consisting of the highest stakeholders in the key areas of the grant, a CCRT functions as the backbone of our grant implementation by utilizing the unique insight each person brings to the table.
The work of the Team is focused on, but not limited to:

Encouraging the development, implementation, and assessment of awareness, prevention, and intervention programs that address sexual misconduct in the campus community.
Working with community leaders and service providers to prevent sexual misconduct and to ensure a coordinated response, both in terms of law enforcement and survivor services, in accordance with the Illinois Campus Security Enhancement Act and the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act.
Assess prevention programming and marketing materials to ensure cultural relevance, develop messaging for different populations on campus
Promoting and providing appropriate training to faculty and staff around sexual assault, domestic/dating violence, and stalking
Create marketing and outreach materials for on and off-campus resources, including 24-hour crisis lines
Identify service delivery opportunities that are culturally affirming and encompass diverse learning styles

Anyone from the Lewis community is encouraged to participate and attend CCRT monthly meetings.
