BARCC (Boston Area Rape Crisis Center) has developed this online course
about responding to disclosures of sexual assault.  If you would like to
preview the course, please contact me at 

We have done a live version of this training for police officers many
times and it has been well-received.

Online course: 
First Responders: Responding to Sexual Assault Disclosures

The Boston Area Rape Crisis Center, in collaboration with NEARI (The New
England Adolescent Research Institute), is pleased to announce the
availability of the online course: 
First Responders: Responding to Sexual Assault Disclosures.

This course, designed specifically for staff in college and university
settings, presents an innovative model for responding to a disclosure of
sexual violence. It stresses the importance of a supportive response to
reduce secondary trauma and to encourage the survivor to seek further
care. The course was developed through years of providing training at
institutions of higher education throughout the Boston area. Go to
http://courses.neari.com/
 to view a sample of this online course (one-minute in length).


"I thought the course was a 5. It was really amazing. I have completed
the 36-hour Rape Crisis training and worked as a counselor last year for
my MSW field work. Through this training I learned new information and
new skills. THANK YOU! Not only did I learn the importance of the SEEK
steps, but I learned how to implement them. Often a training will
provide the WHY without the HOW."

Good Afternoon~

We are in the process of developing our Sexual Assault Response Team on
campus.  Our campus police contacted us today to request a training for
the officers.  They struggle with interviewing and handling the
survivors' questions and emotions.  What training tools/programs have
others used?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
