REGISTRATION FOR EACH DAY IS REQUIRED!

We’re excited to announce that registration is officially open for our 7th Annual Sexual Assault Advocate Training Institute (SAATI), taking place from September 5th to 19th, 2025! This hybrid training is an exciting opportunity for anyone supporting survivors—whether you work on campus, in the community, or systems-based advocacy.

Series Description
SAATI provides **26 of the 30 training hours necessary to meet statutory requirements for advocate privilege. SAATI will be offered virtually – live Zoom sessions and online coursework with one day of in person meeting sessions.

The Sexual Assault Advocate Training Institute (SAATI) is designed for staff at community and campus based sexual and domestic violence advocacy programs. It is also appropriate for staff at law enforcement and district attorney’s victim assistance programs.

SAATI will increase participants’ knowledge and skills to support survivors of sexual violence as well as provide participants with information and tools to bring back to their agency to train other staff and volunteers. SAATI covers core topics, including sexual assault dynamics and effects, culturally responsive crisis intervention and advocacy, medical options, criminal and civil/legal options, and more!

**We recommend the remaining 4 hours include agency and community specific information, such as agency policies and procedures, community resources, coordinated community response, etc.
