This position also requires you to plan and/or facilitate sexual harassment and sexual assault response and prevention training for different audiences to include care providers, managers, and the broader workforce. As part of these efforts, you will also ensure VAs and other SHARP personnel are properly trained to provide briefings related to reporting procedures, available victim support services, and other critical topics.
