SUMMARY:Supporting non-offending parents after child sexual abuse | AIFS & Emerging Minds | Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Sensitive Content Warning \nChild sexual abuse continues to be a significant and urgent national issue. The Australian Child Maltreatment Study (2023) revealed that 28% of Australians aged 16 – 24 have experienced this form of abuse\, with a higher rate among girls than boys (37.3% vs 18.8%). \nWhen a child discloses sexual abuse the experience for the non-offending parent/s can be overwhelming. Parents often blame themselves and experience a range of other intense emotions including anger\, shame and doubt\, making it difficult to support their child. \nPractitioners who don’t have specialist knowledge in responding to child sexual abuse may feel overwhelmed if they are working with families where there has been a disclosure. The aim of this webinar is to equip you with practice skills that will allow you to better support these families. \nThis webinar will outline some strategies that you can use to support non-offending parents following a child’s disclosure of sexual abuse.
