Some of the legal aspects will be introduced: reporting to law enforcement officials, forensic exams, and court processes. Body-centered exercises will support counseling skills and basic trauma healing guidance. Do's and Dont's when working with clients who are survivors, and many examples of helpful and harmful interventions will be discussed.
