Training for Crisis Intervention Counselor for Sexual Assault

Literal: LOG.57hrs.

Interpretive: I really learned a lot from this experience; I learned how to work with sexual assault survivors and their families. I learned how to be sympathetic to other's feeling and situations. I think this experience has opened my eyes and made me realize what sexual assault really is and how it affects our society. This training helped me understand that it's not only about  being educated about sexual assault, but trying to get involved and find ways to support those that need our help. I gained so much knowledge and awareness about this issue, which makes me want to get involved even more, not only to support this cause, but many others. I came to the realization that this is something I really love doing, and I'm glad that I'm still going to do it after high school.

Applied: I think this training is the best source I have and it helped me to get most of my answers. In this training I learned about survivors and their needs, and this allowed me to understand what they go through even more. It made understand why it's so important to know how to talk to them and treat them in order to gain their trust. Also, I realized that every speaker that we had would mention the importance of taking good care of ourselves because if we don't, then there's no way we're going to be able to take good care of others. This training truly helped me understand what survivors have to go through, and to be compassionate and respectful when talking to them regardless their story and who they are.
