The women we work with at TRCC say that what they find most helpful is understanding, acceptance, support and someone to listen to them in a non-judgmental environment.
Many workers tell us that they want to provide this but often feel out of their depth or concerned that they may say the wrong thing when receiving a disclosure about sexual abuse.
Objectives
Explore definitions of, and our own reactions to, childhood sexual abuse, rape and sexual assault.
Develop an understanding of the long and short-term effects of childhood sexual abuse, rape and sexual assault.
Explore society’s attitudes to childhood sexual abuse, rape and sexual assault and the impact they have on survivors.
Look at ways of supporting survivors of childhood sexual abuse, rape and sexual assault.
Develop confidence and skills when dealing with disclosures and working with these issues.
