Description
Overview: Sexual abuse is extremely compacted with many layers. Victims of sexual abuse can be any age or gender. Perpetrators can be family, friends or strangers. Court systems can be more traumatizing, police frightening and evidence may be hard to find. All of these things contribute to the challenges that exist for survivors of sexual abuse and assault. All of the different ways that sexual abuse and assault can occur cause it to be multi-layered and case sensitive. Every sexual assault or abuse case you encounter will have to be treated differently, as each case and set of clients that comes with it will be made up of different circumstances, beliefs, strengths and challenges.

- Explain the dynamics of sexual abuse and assault
