Training Overview
STARRSA is the only research-informed intervention program we’re aware of that is specifically designed for college students and which includes an individualized assessment component. Rather than a one-size-fits all approach, the STARRSA programs utilize integrated assessment features that allow providers to tailor educational or treatment-related interventions to meet the specific risks and needs of each student.
Rooted in the risk-needs-responsivity model and developed by a multi-disciplinary team led by Drs. Robert Prentky (Fairleigh Dickinson University – Grantee), Mary Koss (University of Arizona), Raina Lamade (UMass-Dartmouth), and Elise Lopez (University of Arizona), STARRSA was developed with funding provided by the United States Department of Justice, SMART Office to provide a research informed approach to working with students who engage in sexual misconduct. Although most often utilized following a grievance process in which the student has been found responsible for the reported behavior, it may also be incorporated as an outgrowth of an informal resolution process or as a preparatory mechanism for the process itself to ensure that a student who has caused harm is ready to meaningfully engage.
Although the manuals developed for both the STARRSA Active Psychoeducation (AP) and Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (CBT) programs exist in the public domain, they specifically recommend that users participate in a comprehensive training offered by an appropriate provider to ensure fidelity to the STARRSA model. Under a unique collaboration agreement with Fairleigh Dickinson University, Klancy Street serves as the only Grantee-approved training provider and we’re thrilled to be providing this upcoming offering.
