Summary: 

Domestic abuse and sexual assault are never easy to talk about. The act leaves physical and psychological scars of survivors, and can be a hard topic to approach. Due to this, it may be difficult to identify the signs of abuse or know what to do when a survivor confides in you. In this course, we will go over warning signs of abuse and how to spot them, as well as the tactics that abusers use to manipulate their victims. We will discuss the mental and emotional effects of trauma, as well as trauma bonding. Resources will be provided to help sexual assault and domestic abuse victims, and we will talk about ways to better connect with victims and comfort them.

Objectives:

  • Outline and understand intimate partner violence and sexual assault
  • Define trauma and learn the effects and symptoms of trauma as a result of partner violence
  • Identify abuse tactics and types of abuse used by abusers
  • Understand trauma bonding and how it affects survivors
  • Learn about the symptoms and signs of physical abuse, head injury, and strangulation
  • Identify resources and ways to respond to disclosure of intimate partner violence
