Responding to sexual violence disclosures training
 

Board members and confidential contact persons have an important role and responsibility when it comes to receiving disclosures, signals, or reports of sexual violence. How you respond when someone shares their experience can make a significant difference. A negative reaction can cause further harm—often referred to as a 'second rape'—while a positive, supportive response can be an important first step in the healing process.

This training will help you learn how to respond trauma-sensitively to a disclosure, understand the support options available within UM, and know where to refer someone for help outside the university.

 

Details: The training will only take place if at least 4 participants register. If you are interested but unable to attend, send us a message on sexualsafetyum@maastrichtuniversity.nl.
