               Treating Survivors of Childhood Sexual Assault 
          

One day live online workshop with Robin Shapiro

30th November 2024, 9am - 4:30pm.

General Admission: $385 (price includes GST, + $10.70 Humanitix processing fee)

This training is suitable for psychologists, counsellors, psychiatrists, social workers and mental health workers. EMDR training is helpful, but it is not a prerequisite for this course. 

This is an extraordinary opportunity to spend time with Robin Shapiro, for a 1 day online training. Expect this workshop to fill quickly. 

In Australia, 1.1 million women (11%) and 343,500 men (3.6%) have experienced sexual abuse perpetrated by an adult before the age of 15. And of the people who had experienced childhood sexual abuse, many women (69%) and men (52%) had experienced more than one incident (ABS 2023a). In the therapy room, many of our clients present with a history of childhood sexual assault. This course is aimed at equipping clinicians to survivors of childhood sexual assault, in a compassionate and effective manner. 

This course is for all therapists, psychologists, counsellors, General Practitioners, Social Workers and Mental Health Workers who work with survivors of childhood sexual assault. Robin Shapiro masterfully teaches practical strategies for clinicians to identify, treat and heal the experience of childhood sexual assault. 

Learning objectives for the workshop:     

1. Be able to recognise and assess survivors of sex abuse.
2. Be able to assist clients to establish a sense of present safety.
3. Be able to choose appropriate therapeutic goals and the means to meet them.
4. Use EMDR, Ego State Therapy and other therapies to clear the trauma of sexual abuse.
5. Be able to assist clients to work through feelings of shame, fear, and anger tied to the client's abuse experiences.
6. Be able to use some new tools to keep dissociated clients “in the room”.
7. Be able to assist clients to have healthy, consensual, sexual relationships, using education and Future Templates.

The online format includes ample time for practice, questions, clinical demonstrations and real time case consultation. And despite the seriousness of the subject, expect to enjoy the process and come away with many practical strategies you will be able to immediately implement in therapy. 

This training will be live-streamed and recorded, and recordings will be made available to all participants for up to 3 months after the event. 

Refund policy: Full refund (minus processing fees) up to 30 days before the event.
