This resource merges the Phases of Systems Change model and the Communication Feedback Loop model with virtual engagement. This resource describes each phase of system change and gives various considerations through the communication feedback loop. This resource is intended to guide teams with the integration of virtual engagement as an additional method of response.

This resource was designed to demonstrate a step-by-step process of planning their virtual engagement strategy. Through this five-step process, this resource describes how SART teams can find the audience to engage with, outline their goals and objectives, select their methods and platforms, organize resources, and then implement their virtual engagement plan.

This resource helps guide SARTs to identify the audience and virtual strategy to fulfill their goals.

This resource offers information and support for hybrid and virtual meetings for SARTs.

ASISTA has prepared an introductory resource on survivor-based immigration relief for beginner practitioners and domestic violence and sexual assault advocates. The resource provides an overview of common immigration terms and the eligibility criteria for common forms of survivor-based relief, including U and T visas and related adjustment applications, VAWA Self-Petitions and VAWA adjustment, battered spouse waivers, VAWA cancellation of removal, and work permits for abused spouses of certain nonimmigrants.

ASISTA has prepared a practice advisory for immigration practitioners that provides an introduction to the impacts of criminal-legal system contacts on eligibility for survivor-based immigration relief. The advisory surveys common criminal grounds of inadmissibility, bars to good moral character, exceptions and waivers, and the impact of criminal grounds of inadmissibility on eligibility for U-visas, T-visas, Adjustment of Status, VAWA Self-Petitions, and VAWA cancellation of removal. This practice advisory also contains practice tips for immigration practitioners who represent criminalized survivors and citations to additional resources.

This toolkit provides practical skills and information on how to best honor victim/survivor confidentiality while doing work on a sexual assault response team (SART).

SPANISH – This packet contains the template documents that have been crafted by the NNEDV transitional housing (TH) team. While there are no mandatory documents in the OVW TH program, there are some required pieces to make sure that services are clearly advertised to survivors; that survivors’ privacy and confidentiality rights are being protected; and that there are clear application and eligibility processes for survivors and advocates to understand. With that said, our toolkit includes other documents that programs usually use. While they are not mandatory to use, we believe that these versions of the documents align with OVW’s philosophy and are available to use at any time.
