1 in 3 Texas residents are survivors of sexual violence. However, no two survivors are the same. This presentation will help professionals learn more about working with survivors beyond a “one-size-fits-all” mindset. Together we will discuss ways to uplift survivors by recognizing their unique strengths and lived experiences.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completing this session, participants will

• Be able to identify the pitfalls of a “One-size-fits-all” approach to survivor services.
• Identify new approaches to providing individualized survivor services.
• Redefine the role of cultural competency in supporting survivors.
