Working
With Men and Women Who Have Suffered Sexual Abuse
- Two Day Course:
As the
prevalence of disclosure of sexual abuse is
increasing (particularly with regards to men) and
more people are coming forward for help and
support, we feel this is an important course which
is designed to help and assist those professionals
who may come into contact or work directly with
adult survivors of sexual abuse. The course will
provide insight and understanding of the issues
surrounding the subject along with opportunities
to explore and develop strategies for working with
this client group.
This 2
day course is part experiential, part educational
and part exercise based. The course will provide
information on the prevalence and the impact of
sexual abuse on children and adults. By using
examples of best practise the course examines the
nature of the support which can be offered to
clients. Through experiential learning
participants will gain insight into the
psychological and emotional impact of a client's
sexual abuse. Due to the sensitivity of the
subject matter a plenary session will be held at
the end of each day which provides an opportunity
for debrief.
By
the end of the course participants will be able
to:
- Have
an understanding of the impact of
sexual abuse on individuals.

an understanding of the
pre-determining factors such as
familial and cultural influences.
