The New Hampshire Non-Residential and Community College Sexual Assault Policy and Prevention Initiative (CSAPPNH)
CSAPPNH is a project organized by Prevention Innovations Research Center and funded by the Office on Women’s Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. CSAPPNH involves the collaboration of Prevention Innovations staff, a task force of experts from across New Hampshire, and faculty, staff, and students from eight nonresidential post-secondary schools, to institute policies, practices, and prevention strategies that prevent sexual assault from occurring.
Objective: To develop, administer and evaluate comprehensive institutional sexual and relationship violence and stalking prevention and response strategies for each campus that are informed by collaborative work between national, state and local partners and that will withstand institutional personnel transitions.
