System Partners
Coordinated Community Response-DSVS partners with other agencies and entities providing care to those we serve, as a means to improve wrap-around services for survivors. We provide professional in-service training for law enforcement, members of the justice system, medical providers, educators, social workers, clergy, therapists, and the business community. We regularly engage with these partners to evaluate continuum of care, adjusting and improving as needed. These partnerships have led to innovation to overcome barriers for survivors to access resources.
