Sexual violence is a pervasive, often hidden problem, which is still sometimes viewed as an individual problem only being perpetrated by a handful of “bad people.” The reality is something different; sexual violence remains a pervasive problem mainly because we still hold on to stereotypes, attitudes and belief systems that allow a culture of sexual violence to thrive. Sexual violence is not a problem to be dealt with only by victims and perpetrators, but by all of us.
This virtual workshop, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on October 28, will define sexual violence as a community issue and demonstrate the impact on all of us, paying particular attention to our classrooms, workplaces, and communities at large. The workshop is not meant to replace any agency- or state-mandated training.
(Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, Licensed Mental Health Counselors, Licensed Clinical Social Workers, and Licensed Master Social Workers earn four continuing education hours.)
Register here by October 10.
If you enroll and are then unable to attend, contact PSWP customer service at PSWPRegistration@albany.edu no later than three days prior to the workshop to allow a person on the waitlist a chance to attend.
