Serving Formerly Incarcerated Survivors of Sexual Assault: A Webinar for Advocates and Victim Service Providers
Many survivors of sexual abuse {whether the abuse occurred before they became incarcerated or while they were serving time } return home after their incarceration, having never received any help or services. Practitioners need tools to build trust, recognize trauma, and practical ways to talk with survivors with incarceration histories. Here presenters from the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center and Neighbors in Action discuss how to become “incarceration-informed” and feel comfortable working with formerly incarcerated survivors.
