Trauma-Informed Sexual Assault Investigations Training Overview
This training has been developed for police, prosecutors, advocates, higher education, the military, and the government / private sector and it can be modified to meet your needs.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Sexual assault is one of the most complex crimes in our society and the activism and outrage about sexual assault has never been higher. The complexities of these crimes require us to think broadly and comprehensively including examining the myths and biases and the new “trauma-informed approach” training, including the neurobiology of trauma, for all multi- disciplinary partners responsible for the response to sexual assault / misconduct cases. The effects of trauma are often misinterpreted so justice in sexual assault response begins with an understanding of the devastating impacts of sexual violence trauma on victims and survivors. By understanding trauma, all those who work with victims can contribute to their immediate and long- term recovery and lay the foundation for mutual cooperation and respect on which a successful response, investigation, and prosecution / adjudication is built.
TRAINING GOAL:
To ensure that individuals providing service to sexual assault victims / survivors recognize and understand victim trauma and utilize effective approaches and interview skills to enhance response, investigations, and prosecutions / adjudications.
