people

You already know how to care.

A 2-hour workshop designed for clinicians, nurses, social workers, and frontline professionals.

Why this workshop is built for you.

people playing

You are not the typical audience. You may or may not have received formal training on sexual violence. Many professionals have not. Access to training varies between countries, professions, and institutions.

But through your work, you have encountered this issue. You have received disclosures. You have noticed warning signs. You have supported people affected by trauma. You may have helped them through legal procedures or supported them within institutions.

Our workshop is not designed to teach you the basics. It is designed to surface the assumptions everyone — including experienced professionals — carries unexamined.

The workshop does not replace your training. It complements it. It creates a structured discussion with colleagues about common misconceptions, social influences, and false beliefs that can affect how we listen and understand others.

Fits within a half-day team meeting or peer-supervision session.

Built on WHO, UNICEF, and peer-reviewed prevention research.

What experienced professionals find useful.

Re-examining your own intuitions

Some cards are deliberately ambiguous — designed to surface the snap judgements we all make, even after years of practice. The exercise is uncomfortable in the best way.

Aligning with colleagues

Different team members carry different mental models. The workshop creates a shared frame that reduces the small inconsistencies between practitioners that erode patient or service-user trust.

Working on the “fake good ideas”

Some interventions sound effective and aren’t. The workshop trains you to recognise plausible-sounding solutions that lack evidence — useful both clinically and when advising patients, families, or institutions.

Recognising prevention windows

Many disclosures come after years of warning signs that were missed not for lack of skill, but for lack of frame. The workshop helps you spot patterns — in patients, families, institutions — before they escalate into harm.
