Sexual Trauma 1st Aid Expanded - Hobart 26/09/23

Being in a position to receive a disclosure of sexual harm is a great privilege, but we often wonder afterwards if we said and did the right thing at the time. Sexual Trauma 1st Aid has been designed to give you the tools to be a comfort and an advocate when someone has reached out to voice their experience. All skill levels are welcome, and no prior knowledge is expected.

This training is the SAME as the SASS 4-hour Sexual Trauma 1st Aid workshop, with the addition of information about pornography, warning signs of domestic & family violence, bystander behaviour concepts, teaching children protective behaviours, information about child grooming & responding to the sharing of explicit images.
