This training provides advocates and counselors with the basic skills to assist sexual assault victims and survivors. Trainees will learn about the realities of sexual violence, its impact on different populations, advocacy roles and requirements, responding to victims in crisis, and preventing compassion fatigue. The techniques taught focus on first response and do not include advanced counseling. Throughout the training, "victim" will be used when discussing early impact and "survivor" when discussing later recovery, to recognize the goal of transitioning from victim to survivor.

about sex-related problems and issues. Problems and issues do not always have
to do with sexual performance concerns but can also include mental health
concerns regarding sexual feelings, intimacy, sexual orientation, gender, and
other such things.

Fourfold
expression
differentiation
affirmation
choice and integration
Gestalt therapy is concerned with how a client is experiencing life at the present point in time, and will have this as the basis of the therapeutic work.
A Gestalt therapist, then, would help the client move into those feelings
(or thoughts) in a way that allows a deep immersion into those experiences and the
freedom to express what the client has previously feared to release. Once the client
has moved through the impasse and experienced and expressed what was lying
underneath, an insight usually occurs that helps the client understand what has kept
him or her stuck
Gestalt therapy is helping individuals assume responsibility for themselves rather than relying on others to make decisions for them
Gestalt therapy aims to challenge its clients to move from “environmental support” to “self-support,” in order to mobilize their own resources for dealing with the environment effectively and to make creative adjustments that permit the self to respond to environmental pressures and to inner needs.
expression clients are encouraged to tell who they are as fully as possible, even becoming aware of gestures, breathing, voice tone, and facial expressions. In order to keep them in the “now” and maintain responsibility, clients are urged to preface their expressions with the phrase, “Now I am aware. . . .”
differentiation, so that clients can differentiate among the parts of their inner conflict. They might be encouraged, for example, to exaggerate their facial expression and in so doing, they may become more aware of their “angry part.”
affirmation, occurs when the client is encouraged to identify with “all the parts” that are emerging into awareness. It is here that the Gestalt therapist will allow clients to fully express their pent-up emotions.
choice and integration, the client comes to say, “I am responsible for my frustration and resentment.” “responsibility is really response-ability, the ability to choose one’s reactions,” and it comes about only when we relinquish our defenses and allow ourselves to become aware of our true feelings and motivations. In this stage an internal integration brings a sense of peace and is a sign of a “completed gestalt.”

An overview of evidence-based therapeutic components that aid in the reduction of the rate of return or recidivism of ex-offenders going back to prison.
1. Sexual Assault Advocate/Counselor Training
Introductions and Expectations
Training overview and goals
The goal of this training is to help sexual assault advocates/
counselors build the basic skills necessary to provide
competent, effective crisis intervention services to sexual
assault victims/ survivors.
2. You will learn information and skills
related to:
•
*Realities of sexual violence.
*Impact of sexual assault.
*Needs of specific populations.
*Advocacy roles and requirements.
*Sexual Assault Response Teams.
*Responses to victims/survivors during a crisis.
*Prevention of “compassion fatigue.”
3. Techniques
• The techniques taught in this training can
be used to support victims/survivors
recovering from sexual assault. The
training focuses heavily on skills for first
responders and will not deal with
advanced counseling or group counseling
techniques; such techniques require
advanced training and experience and are
beyond the scope of this basic program.
4. Creating a Common Language
She or He?
• While rape crisis centers deal with both
male and female sexual assault and
abuse victims, female pronouns will for the
most part be used to refer to the victim
throughout this training. This decision is
based on the fact that the majority of
victims are female.
5. “Rape,” “Sexual Assault,” or
“Sexual Abuse”?
• The legal definitions of rape, sexual assault, and sexual
abuse vary by state. In this training, “rape” and “sexual
assault” will be used interchangeably to refer to any
nonconsensual contact between two or more people,
involving the sexual organs of one person or more,
regardless of sex or marital status, with or without
penetration, and with or without resulting physical injury.
It may involve vaginal, oral, or anal contact. The term
“sexual abuse” will be used when the victim is a child
and the perpetrator is a relative, caretaker, or person
with authority over the child (e.g., teacher, coach,
babysitter).
6. “Victim” or “Survivor”?
• It is difficult for anyone other than individuals themselves to
determine when the shift from “victim” to “survivor” occurs. Some
people feel they are survivors from the moment they escape from
the assailant(s). They may prefer the term “survivor” even in the
emergency department. Other individuals use “survivor” to mean
someone who has made significant progress toward regaining
control of her life and recovering from the experience. These
individuals may resent being called survivors too soon; they may
feel like victims, not survivors, in the early stages.
• At the request of individuals who do not feel they immediately can
move to survivor status, the term “victim” rather than “survivor” will
be used when discussing the emergency department response and
early impact. When discussing the later periods of recovery, the
term “survivor” will be used to recognize that—even if the shift from
“victim” to “survivor” has not been completely accomplished—this is
indeed the goal for individuals with whom advocates will work.
