Course Description:
Over the past few years and correlated to the overwhelming number of women who have participated in the #MeToo movement, there has been renewed attention to issues of sexual violence, which remains pervasive in our culture. This groundswell has created a refreshed platform for addressing gaps in service provider/clinician training for sexual assault response.
While statistics from the National Sexual Violence Resource Center show that 1 in 5 women and 1 in 7 men in the U.S. will face sexual assault at some point in their lifetime, very few counseling, social work and other social science educational programs have specific courses designed for training sexual assault response. Instead, service providers/clinicians learn this “on the job”; and strive to learn and grow to grow based on experiences.
During this interactive workshop, we discuss the basics of sexual assault and participants will learn to provide an adequate, timely and holistic response to sexual assault, while addressing barriers to disclosing and seeking services and learning about community resources available to those who have experienced sexual assault.
