Free Webinar: Learn How You Can Best Support Survivors during Global Crises

Talking about sexual violence is challenging for everyone—even sometimes for mental health professionals! Trying to do it during global crises like COVID-19 and a national reckoning with racism and white supremacy culture can make it even more challenging to respond to disclosures and support people seeking support. That’s why we’re excited to announce a new, free upcoming clinical webinar: 

From Initial Response to Treatment: Using Crisis Intervention Skills during Global Crises with Survivors of Sexual Violence 

Single session, available the following dates: 

  • Tuesday, October 13, 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. ET
  • Thursday, November 5, 3:00–4:30 p.m. ET
  • Tuesday, December 8, 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. ET

Presenters: 

  • Sharon Imperato, Project Director of Clinical Training and Technical Assistance (all sessions)
  • Lindsey (Coco) Co, Youth Outreach Coordinator (October)
  • Patrick Donovan, Community and Prevention Projects Director (November and December)

This webinar is for clinicians, mental health professionals, and medical professionals in private practice or at agencies—anyone who works professionally in a clinical setting with survivors in ongoing relationships.

In this training you will gain the understanding and skills you need to appropriately respond to disclosures, particularly when building a therapeutic relationship. With norms changing and work shifted from in person to remote, we will also share strategies for ongoing in-person and virtual treatment. Join us to learn concrete skills to work with survivors starting with the initial disclosure through ongoing support and treatment. 

Choose your session date on the registration page.

We look forward to you joining us for one of these upcoming webinars! They will be recorded and shared afterward with everyone who registered, so even if you can’t make it at a specific day and time, please register to watch the recording later.

Our mission is to end sexual violence. We empower survivors of sexual violence to heal and provide education and advocacy for social change to prevent sexual violence.
