Training for Professionals
Child sexual abuse causes systemic and complex trauma. It is challenging for all involved, including professionals.
We have been supporting families impacted by child sexual abuse for the last 30 years. Our training has been designed from a deep knowledge and understanding of family’s experiences in the system.
Support for professionals
The We Stand professional training program is designed to increase your 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 a safe space 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.
