Join the New York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault, in partnership with the Upstate Elder Abuse Center at Lifespan (UpEAC), for a workshop on working with older adult survivors. This training is designed primarily for service providers, rape crisis advocates, and therapists at all levels of experience, but is open to the general public.

Participants will build the knowledge and skills needed to understand and respond to sexual violence against older adults. This training will examine how sexual violence manifests in older adult communities, including key risk factors that increase vulnerability. It will also focus on providing survivor-centered, trauma-informed support that accounts for diverse identities, lived experiences, and cultural contexts. Additionally, participants will explore opportunities for community-wide prevention and intervention.

Presented via Zoom, and CEUs are available
