The Athlete Survivors' Assist, formerly The Army of Survivors, are hosting two upcoming webinars titled Engaging Coaches in Building Athlete Survivor Well-Being, Safety, & Responsible Sport Systems with former Olympic coach Jean-Paul Richard and US Sports Systems & Reporting with Jessica Perrill and Kyle MacTaggart of the US Center for SafeSport. Both webinars will include interactive discussions on the intersection of abuse in sports and are open to sexual assault service providers, victim advocates, Title IX and university-based athletic administrators, and others working at the intersection of abuse response in sports.
Engaging Coaches in Building Athlete Survivor Well-Being, Safety, & Responsible Sport Systems
Join The Assist and guest Jean-Paul Richard to explore how to equip coaches to center athlete well-being and create safer, more supportive sport environments by engaging coaches and grassroots sport systems in responsible, athlete-centered practices.
With insights from international safeguarding leaders, this webinar is built for advocates to learn how to engage coaches and local sports systems to be better equipped to recognize concerns, respond appropriately, and connect athletes to safe, trusted reporting pathways.

US Sports Systems & Reporting
Join The Assist and the US Center for SafeSport for a conversation on US-based abuse-in-sport reporting systems and how they can support athletes, survivors, and multidisciplinary response teams.
Together, we'll explore how sport and safeguarding reporting systems operate in the US and how SARTs and MDTs can leverage these tools to improve access, response, and athlete support.
