It Happens, It Matters | Training by 1 in 6

Standing Together to End Sexual Assaults will be hosting a one day clinical training. It Happens, It Matters is an introductory training on male sexual victimization, which offers a primer on the basic concepts, theories, and approaches to working with male survivors to frontline professionals and volunteers. In many respects, the training can serve as a prerequisite for participants wanting to engage in effective intervention strategies with this population.

This day-long training provides a condensed orientation of this issue to front-line workers who come across male survivors in the course of their duties (e.g. victim services staff, child protection workers, police officers).
