FEMINIST SUPPORT WORK WITH WOMEN WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED SEXUAL VIOLENCE.

BRISSC regularly holds a three day training workshop for women and workers who are interested in building their skills in support, working from a feminist framework and working with women who have experienced sexual violence.

The training focuses on both theory and skill building with opportunities for practice within the group, small groups and pairs.

WOMENS GROUP

A fortnightly drop in group for women who have experienced sexual violence commenced on 31st August 2009. The group provides a supportive space for survivors to share stories and learn new skills to address the silence and effects of violence. During the last half of 2009 the group explored digital storytelling as a form of expression for survivors.

This group is now taking a break until the new year. If you would like to participate in the group or want more information contact BRISSC on 3391 0004 or email admin@brissc.org.au.
