About this Course

This workshop is a primer on how to respond to disclosures of sexualized violence in a way that is supportive, person-centered and trauma-informed. Instructors will provide a foundational knowledge of sexual assault and consent, and explore social, cultural, and institutional factors that facilitate sexualized violence and affect how others perceive and support those who come forward. The workshop reviews the Listen-Believe-Support framework of responding to disclosures, and goes over some resources available at the SASC, and elsewhere on campus. Coffee, tea, and light refreshments will be provided.
