Preventing and Responding to Sexual Violence Workshop

Dear Students,

GSS and SVPRO are putting together a workshop in the Thea Koerner House that will teach participants how to support someone, who discloses sexual assault.

Participants will practice techniques to respond to and support survivors, understand the difference between disclosure and reporting and their role and responsibilities.  Discussion of barriers and myths that impede disclosing will also be included 

We have only 12 spots available, so hurry and reserve your spot by sending an email to aa@gss.ubc.ca by Thursday August 23rd, 2018. 

Thank you and looking forward to seeing you at this important workshop!
