Notes: | "A literature review focussing on the training needs of sexual violence crisis workers was conducted to inform the design of in-house training, and workshops were planned accordingly. Rates of PTSD in survivors indicate the need for workers engaging with survivors to practise in a trauma-informed way while recognising the significant pitfalls of the PTSD paradigm. In addition, training should feature basic counselling and attending skills, power and control dynamics, and theories of empowerment, and the significant role that "psychological first aid" can play in mediating the psychological and physiological progression of traumatic stress responses. |
