This 90-minute workshop is intended for service providers that work directly with children and youth. Key learnings in the workshop include: an understanding of the Child Advocacy Centre of Kelowna, signs and symptoms of the most common forms of child abuse, how to effectively support a disclosure of abuse, the appropriate steps to take when making a report, and finally, how to support yourself in the process.
After completing this course, you will be better equipped to support the children that you work with. No worker wants to hear that a child they know and care about is experiencing abuse. However, knowing how to respond and being able to effectively support a child can turn an unimaginable situation as good as possible.
Almost all videos included in the course are animated. Trigger warnings will be provided before content that is likely to be upsetting.
Every situation of child abuse is unique. For this reason, this course will provide an overview of the process. The specific steps taken will be very situational. Information on the appropriate resources to connect with will be provided.
