Sexual Assault Services Training Academy

 

WVFRIS is now offering the West Virginia Sexual Assault Services Training Academy (SASTA). SASTA began from a partnership among three organizations:

 

  • WVFRIS;
  • Marshall University's Forensic Science Center; and
  • The Instructional Design and Technology Program, Department of Learning Sciences and Human Development, in the College of Education and Human Services at West Virginia University.

SASTA is a forum for sharing collective knowledge and providing foundational information for those tasked in the criminal justice and social service delivery systems with responding to victims of sexual assault, human trafficking and stalking in West Virginia.

 

 

SASTA courses are designed to strengthen students' knowledge of essential information regarding sexual violence, human trafficking and stalking, as well as enhance their skills in serving victims and educating communities about these crimes. Go to the SASTA website or see the SASTA Course Fact Sheet to learn about courses which are offered."

 

Individual students and/or agency representatives can select courses and/or modules within courses to complete, depending on their interests. They can determine the pace which they will work through the material.

 

The majority of the SASTA courses are written for individual students, whether they are assigned by their agency to complete the course or are working independently. A few courses are intended more for agency use than for individual students. Courses intended for agency use are indicated in the course introduction.
