Working with Survivors of Rape & Sexual Violence Level 3

About this course

For many years, rapists and violent sex offenders have permeated society leaving innocent victims emotionally and physically traumatised.

The affects and trauma of rape and sexual violence can go right to the very core of a persons existence, it can be likened to a deepening splinter and the more the innocent victim tries to ignore it, the sharper the barbs become and the deeper the splinter goes, taking with it, searing emotional pain.
