This toolkit is a collection of resources for communities that are considering building a SART (Sexual Assault Response Team) or those that want to improve their existing coordinated response to victims of sexual assault. Effective SARTs leverage the knowledge that each component of the multidisciplinary team brings to the response. By using the tools in this resource, and by working with the strengths of each agency, SARTs are able to provide a coordinated response to ensure the needs of victims are met.

This toolkit employs art, in various forms, as a universal language and medium for communicating their message about sexual assault prevention and awareness.
