We can help

SAPAT has been leading prevention initiatives in the Kent County community since 1998. The coalition’s cumulative experience in fields such as sexual assault victim services, prevention education, community health, law enforcement, and professional development places SAPAT in the unique position to lead the Kent County community toward the elimination of sexual violence.

SAPAT members provide a wide array of services, ranging from workplace development and education, to policy change initiatives and participation in community events. If you are interested in any of our services, please contact us.

Current Projects

Kent County Provider, Community, and Youth Climate Surveys

SAPAT is collaborating with local university staff to develop a series of climate surveys designed to measure the attitudes and social norms related to sexual violence that exist throughout Kent County, MI. The goal of these climate surveys are to inform sexual violence prevention and intervention practitioners of our community’s current understanding of sexual violence, gauge the community’s readiness to embrace prevention efforts, and provide data to inform preventionists’ programs and engagement opportunities.

Look to SAPAT’s Facebook page for updates on the community climate surveys and more information on how to get involved.

Parent Engagement Project

SAPAT is working to establish relationships with local community members and parents that are interested in preventing sexual violence among youth through inspiring young people to develop positive and healthy relationships. Educational sessions and networking opportunities for parents concerned about this issue are in the works.
