Our Responding to Disclosures program helps participants develop trauma-informed and healing-centered approaches for supporting individuals who have experienced or been impacted by sexual and/or gender-based violence. It highlights the impacts of trauma on the nervous system and ways in which trauma responses may affect a person’s ability to perform day-to-day functions. This program draws on best practices developed through decades of community activism and research in the anti-violence field. The goal of this workshop is to learn how to mitigate the impacts of violence and minimize the potential for re-traumatization. In this session, we will talk about: * How to respond to disclosures of sexual and gender-based violence with empathy * The UBC's Sexual Misconduct Policy; * Confidentiality and/or privacy practices; * Collective and individual healing; and * SVPRO support and resources.
