First Responders: Responding to Sexual Assault Disclosures (2 CEUs)

Instructor: Jaime Suvak, L.M.H.C., BARCC Staff Member
This course presents an innovative model for responding to a disclosure
of sexual violence. It stresses the importance of a supportive response
to reduce secondary trauma and to encourage the survivor to seek further
care. This approach trains staff to respond to disclosures emphasizing
four key areas: Safety, Empowerment, Empathy, and Knowledge (SEEK).
Designed specifically for staff in college and university settings, it
is an essential tool for creating a safe point of entry for anyone
choosing to disclose the sexual violence they experienced. This course
was developed by staff of the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center, the
largest rape crisis center in Massachusetts and the second oldest in the
country.
Cost: $30
Time: 1-2 Hours
Continuing Education Credits: Available for a small fee.
