  • Adult Sexual Assault Response Team with a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Clinic : Utilizing a collaborative and multi-disciplinary approach, SARPA works with various disciplines to coordinate a response team when survivors need immediate assistance. This 24/7 program is an alternative to going to the hospital or another medical clinic. SARPA provides a private community based clinic, where a survivor can receive support, advocacy, education, referrals, and a medical examination by a certified or qualified Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE), who is specifically trained to work with sexual assault survivors and gather evidence for the police and prosecution. The goals of this program are to provide safety, comfort, and support to the survivor in a private location; increase efficiency and effectiveness with working with survivors of sexual assault; provide a multi-disciplinary and collaborative approach to assist the survivor and the issues of sexual assault; provide a comprehensive and professional sexual assault examination by a certified or qualified SANE; provide a structured training program for supervising SANEs; increase reports of sexual assaults; increase the quality of evidence collection; improve the data collection for the issues of sexual assault in this area; increase follow-up and support services for the survivor and co-survivors; and increase the prosecution of the offenders.
