AASAS First Responder to Sexual Assault and Abuse Training

Join us for a two-day AASAS First Responder to Sexual Assault and Abuse Training and certification.

Open to NorQuest students, this certification is ideal for anyone wanting to learn more about recognizing and supporting individuals who have experienced sexual violence, and to contribute to a safer community for all.

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

• Define sexual violence and describe its various forms
• Understand the short- and long-term impacts of sexual violence across the lifespan
• Articulate why sexual violence is never the fault of the person who has been harmed
• Explain the attitudes and beliefs that perpetuate sexual violence and other root causes
• Provide a positive and supportive first response to a disclosure of sexual violence
• Identify resources and referrals to support those who have experienced sexual violence

Typically the cost of this training is $250/participant but we are able to offer it at no cost for our learners! Capacity is capped at 15, after which folks can add themselves to the waitlist.

Attendance of the full two days is required to receive a certificate of completion.
