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.

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