Our training is informed by our experience of providing specialist sexual violence support services across Avon and Somerset. All of our experienced trainers are front-line support practitioners. To talk about your training needs, please call 0117 929 9556.
Our training service is here to support your work and ensure you are meeting the needs of survivors both within your organisation and accessing your organisation. We have trained groups such as nurses, mental health workers, GPs, drug and alcohol project workers, housing project workers, and university students. Any money we earn from training goes directly back into providing services for survivors, meaning you get training to support survivors better and more survivors themselves are able to access our free services.
We also provide online training courses for people affected by sexual violence. We are excited to launch a new free e-learning course aimed at anyone who has experienced any form of rape, sexual assault or sexual abuse at any time in their life. Find out more
