Join us on November 8th at 3 PM in Derryberry Hall room 200 for our next CAFÉ Conversation in the Diversity & Inclusion series, Responding to Disclosure. Dr. Helen Hunt will share information about trauma-informed responses when people are talking to you (what to say versus what not to say) as well as information about resources and how to do a “warm handoff” to get them the help they need based on what they’re wanting. This conversation is geared toward employees who don’t have confidentiality; it’s not designed to have the person disclose details about what happened, but instead how to provide an affirming reaction and then get them to whatever thing they need next.

We are excited to announce that Dr. Ann Hellman and Dr. Shelia Hurley have recently been awarded a grant to start a SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) program at Health Services. This is something that has been needed in the Tech and Cookeville communities for some time. SANEs are RNs who have been trained to provide comprehensive care to sexual assault patients and to show compassion and sensitivity to survivors of sexual assault. They have competency in evidence collection and court testimony. This program will be serving members of the Tennessee Tech community affected by sexual violence including students, staff, and faculty. As part of this grant, Drs. Hellman and Hurley have also secured funds to train several Victim Advocates to support survivors. Erin Murray, previously of Project AWAKEN, will be working with ASPIRES as a Victim Advocate. Current plans are for the grant to launch January, 10, 2022. Stay tuned for more details as we approach the new year.
