Compassionate Response to Disclosure
What would you do if someone you lead or serve disclosed that they experienced sexual violence? Sexual violence is a difficult topic – but it is a reality. Some people encounter it more frequently in their line of work but don’t always feel comfortable handling the topic when it comes up. This presentation will help you prevent and respond to sexual violence in ways that support survivors and their rights.

Key Takeaways:
1. Learn an overview of sexual assault and why it is important to talk about it.
2. Understand how to respond to a disclosure of sexual assault while providing trauma informed support.
3. Get acquainted with Clove Alliance and our services serving Kankakee, Iroquois, and Ford Counties.
