#Ccr members series#
A core group of CCR members received intensive training in elder abuse and will be conducting a series of daylong sessions in 2020 – first with every member of law enforcement, then with service providers. We’re very proud to have been selected to benefit from a grant from the Department of Justice, Office of Violence Against Women. All CCR partners attend trainings elsewhere, so we have the benefit of their knowledge of emerging trends and outstanding presenters. In between our regular quarterly meetings, we schedule several longer trainings. We invite a speaker or presenter to address us for about 40 minutes, which allows time to share announcements and updates from our respective agencies. How often do you meet, and what happens at your meetings?ĬCR meets quarterly at the Door County Justice Center, 12-1 pm. We all know that the more we understand about how each of us interacts with survivors of domestic violence and/or sexual assault, the better we can serve them. We get to know each other better, gain perspective from each other and elevate our skills.

When you consider whose life is changed when domestic violence or sexual assault takes place, you quickly realize that it’s not just the person who was attacked who may have contact with one or more of these organizations – it’s also family members, neighbors, classmates, work colleagues and friends.Įach CCR partner organization has an internal culture of continuing education and places collaboration high among its priorities.

Other CCR partners work in fields in which people they serve are dealing with these difficult issues.ĭoor County’s CCR team is made up of folks from the Door County Sheriff’s Department and Sturgeon Bay Police, both judges, the district attorney, court support staff, Door County Health and Human Service folks in Adult Protective Services and Child Protective Services, ADRC staff (that’s the Aging and Disability Resource Center, also known as the Senior Center), and health-care professionals who work in mental health, probation and parole, and education. There are dozens of CCR partner agencies and organizations, some whose sole mission is serving people who are dealing with issues involving domestic violence and sexual assault. (I had a hard time not hearing the driving beat of Credence Clearwater Revival when I first got involved.) In a world rife with acronyms, CCR stands for Coordinated Community Response.
