P2W recently supported this very valuable training initiative in Sexual Violence Awareness and Disclosure Training for Professionals Working in
Investigations.
Pictured at the event, our two facilitators from the Dublin Rape and Crisis Centre (DRCC), Caitriona Freir and Ciara Lynch.
DCRR are uniquely positioned to provide training that is trauma informed. Their training focuses on the victim/survivor of sexual violence, while also exploring the impact on supporters when meeting disclosures.
DRCC’s training is experiential, giving participants the chance to reflect on their own internal processes, as well as the presenting issues of sexual violence, sexual trauma and sensitively handling disclosures in an in-depth way.
There is a strong theme throughout the training around the importance of developing resourcing strategies for the worker. Training also covers issues of traumatisation, burnout and self-care.
