The Rape and Sexual Violence Project (RSVP) specialist training team would like to invite you to attend our ‘Bite Size Training Sessions’ which will be held throughout 2023 on a variety of subjects related to supporting survivors of sexual violence and abuse. These are interactive on-line training sessions, which act as a good introduction to a wide variety of topics.
Male survivors of sexual violence and abuse – session aims:
- Examine the prevalence of sexual violence perpetrated against men and boys
- Explore some of the myths surrounding male survivors of sexual violence and abuse
- Discuss stereotypes of ‘masculinity’ and the impact this can have on survivors of sexual violence and abuse
- Identify barriers for male survivors when accessing support services, and identify ways of overcoming these barriers
The sessions are suitable for practitioners working in a variety of sectors who engage with adults, young people, and children. The aims of the sessions are to broaden your knowledge and skills in relation to the impact of sexual violence, trauma and abuse. They will equip you with knowledge of how best to support survivors of sexual violence whether they are colleagues, staff or service users.
