28 March 2020: Sexual Assault First Responder Training

AWARE

Understand trauma reactions and learn tangible skills to support sexual violence survivors at this workshop by AWARE's SACC.

<h2>Note: Thanks to everyone who has signed up for this Sexual Assault First Responder Training! Hopefully you have received our notification that the training will be held ONLINE-ONLY this month (and for the foreseeable future). More details will be emailed out shortly. This month's session is at full capacity but we will be running again in April.</h2>"Are you sure that happened? Why didn't you fight back? You should have known better." These are some common responses survivors of sexual assault have heard, which may further their feelings of doubt, guilt and shame. First response that is sensitive to the survivor's needs and choices is necessary in preventing re-victimisation. We may not always know the right words to say, but we can all agree that sexual assault should never happen to anyone. One way to show zero tolerance for sexual assault is through our own words and actions. It is not always easy for survivors to tell someone about what happened. In fact, for some survivors, it can be especially daunting. As an individual that they put their trust in, our response becomes pivotal in their journey of recovery. SACC's First Responder Training helps familiarize participants with trauma reactions and symptoms to better contribute to a survivor's well-being. In this workshop, SACC will share more on the following: 1. Definition of sexual assault and harassment 2. Recognising Singapore's legal framework 3. Understanding consent 4. Understanding the impact of sexual assault and trauma on survivors 5. Role of a first responder 6. Providing support to survivors of sexual assault 7. Resources available for help 8. Key skills such as ensuring safety, active listening and empathy Under AWARE's #AimForZeroSG campaign, this popular workshop has been made affordable to all.
