First Responders Training for Everyone

Introduction to clinical training is designed for new clinicians or for experienced clinicians who may not have the experience of working with survivors of sexual assault-related trauma. This training explores:
• the context of sexual assault for clients;
• how to address an initial disclosure of sexual assault;
• common reactions to rape and how clients might be expressing these reactions; and
• making an initial assessment about sexual violence.

Introduction to Clinical Training

Working with adolescent survivors of sexual violence in a hospital setting and in follow-up settings can be challenging because of particular concerns around mandated reporting, and privacy and safety concerns of the survivor and their family or guardians. This presentation will address some of the specific concerns and opportunities for working with adolescent survivors.

This in-depth skill-building workshop focuses on cultivating a sense of responsibility for our communities and environments. Discussion includes current research on why people act or do not act to challenge inappropriate sexual and violent behaviors. Activities include exercises that explore a range of ways to be an active bystander.
This workshop is appropriate for audiences with an understanding of the dynamics of sexual violence and some involvement in their communities, for example peer health or peer leadership groups.
