Members of the Taylor County Coordinated Community Response/Sexual Assault Response Team (CCR/SART) gathered at Northcentral Technical College in Medford on Tuesday, April 28, where they observed two virtual presentations by Josephine A. Lauren of Incest AWARE. During the first session, Lauren educated on supporting survivors and their families by using the best language available and better understanding the basics about causes and consequences of this type of abuse. The second session brought to light the stigma surrounding difficult and taboo topics. Pictured are (l. to r.) Sam Jerome, initial assessment social worker with Taylor County Human Services; Sam Gehrke, Stepping Stones; Amy Riegert, Aspirus Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) coordinator; and Ashley Rourk, Stepping Stones.
