Participants
This training programme is for staff who are working with clients who have experienced childhood sexual abuse

 

Aims
To increase the participants’ understanding of the dynamics and impact of child sexual abuse, and to enhance their capacity to support their clients in dealing with this issue.


Objectives

Participants will:

  • Be aware of the core limiting beliefs formed by the child who has experienced childhood sexual abuse
  • Be aware of the effects of childhood sexual abuse, and the strategies employed by children in order to survive
  • Develop their understanding and skills in facilitating a disclosure of child sexual abuse or other trauma, while avoiding re-traumatisation of the client
  • Understand the impact of vicarious traumatisation, and develop strategies to prevent and deal with this


Methodology
The training approach is participative. Methods used include group discussion, lecture, case studies, DVDs. There is a strong theme throughout of the importance of developing resourcing strategies for the worker, and the prevention of vicarious traumatisation and burnout.

The training approach is invitational, with the sensitive nature of the issues being covered and the fact that they may resonate for participants acknowledged.  Participation is encouraged but without pressure.
