Coordinated Response in Rural Communities: The Role of Advocacy in Overcoming Challenges

The presenters will cover the challenges they had to overcome to building their team last year (including team member buy-in, multiple agencies' resistance to collaboration, habitual media revictimization, and "small town" lack of anonymity for victims), the evolution of their written coordinated response protocol, benefits they've seen from implementing coordinated response, and tips for team organization and relationship building.
