Child Sexual Abuse & Responding to Disclosures

This 90-minute training is about the prevalence and dynamics of child sexual abuse including how to gather “minimal facts” after a disclosure of child sexual abuse and/or severe physical abuse. In addition, participants will learn about The Center for Family Justice’s Child Advocacy Center, the Greater Bridgeport Multidisciplinary Team and how to access community and statewide resources.

This training is tailored to providers of direct service, folks who work with youth in any capacity, college students in social science or human services and health professionals.
