Sexual Assault First Responder Training
3 hours (Online) | Recommended group size: 50 pax
Based on experiences of clients of SACC, survivors often lack the support crucial for their recovery when they speak to family, friends, colleagues and official bodies about their experience. This can result in survivors internalising their feelings of shame and guilt, though the assault is never their fault. Often, loved ones grapple with how they can help and what they should say—after all, their actions and words can have a huge impact on a survivor.
Through SACC’s interactive training sessions, participants will be able to understand the complexities of sexual violence, dispel myths, learn about Singapore’s legal framework and remedies for sexual crimes, and act as an effective first responder to create a culture of support for sexual assault survivors.
The goal of this training is to create support systems for survivors of sexual assault, and to equip participants with the necessary skills to be effective first responders to survivors.
SAFRT covers:
- Defining sexual assault (including harassment)
- Understanding consent
- The role of a first responder
- Understanding the impact of trauma on survivors
- Providing support to survivors of sexual assault
- Resources available for help
