Training Course: Gender Responsive Trauma Focused Approach for Engaging Women’s Recovery from Sexual Violence: Supporting Survivors Resilience, Moving Beyond and Through Experiences of Sexual Violence (accredited course)
Training Dates: December 9 & 10 2014
Aim: This FREE two day accredited course aims to build on practitioners existing skills and knowledge, following best practice protocols for effective engagement to support women’s recovery from sexual violence.
About this course: This course will use theoretical constructs from gender analysis perspectives on sexual violence, to examine prevalence, definitions and challenge popularist attitudes and views towards sexual violence from a trauma focused approach. This wil involve the exploration of neurobiology of trauma responses to contextualise the range and depth of trauma symptomology and the ensuing legacy of sexual violence. The course will also introduce strength and evidence based approaches to working holistically with women who have experienced sexual violence, from a culturally relevant perspective. The programme will also include specialist information from Rights of Women on legal frameworks in sexual violence.
The accredited part of the course is assessed by the completion and submission of a professional Logbook. The accreditation is by OCN London and consists of one unit at Level 3, with 3 credits.
