Support for Professionals
Child sexual abuse causes systemic and complex trauma. It is challenging for all involved, including professionals.
We Stand is committed to supporting professionals’ capacity and capability to engage with families impacted by child sexual abuse.
We understand that engaging with families impacted by child sexual abuse can be traumatic for you as professionals. We want to support you in your work, providing safe spaces to learn more about the impact on the victim and their families, how to work more effectively with non-abusing parents and carers, and how to manage your own response to these difficult situations.
