      Training Agenda

      Strengthening Interdisciplinary Strategies to Address Child Sexual Abuse: Insights from "REWIND"

      Multigenerational child sexual abuse, in the context of culture, family and systems of care will be explored. How the medical, mental health, and justice systems interact to protect and heal the child will be deeply examined. From the eyes of the child, we will hear the case, as it unfolds using his home movies as he recreates and tells his story.  Then we will have the chance to hear from him about what he sees as missed opportunities, now looking back.

      Over the course of 5 weeks we will spend 2 hours every Thursday to breakdown the case and have small group, interactive discussions.  

      The first 3 sessions will be dedicated to a bottom-up approach, starting with watching the film as a group after it is introduced by the documentary film maker, Sasha Joseph Neulinger.  The next two weeks we will be exploring core themes identified in the case study presented in the film Rewind. This approach promotes organic learning and communal insight through participant-led discussions and activities, allowing themes and solutions to develop naturally.

      The last two sessions will be dedicated to complex issues related to child sexual abuse through a top-down approach. The top-down method involves expert-led discussions to generate policies and solutions based on established knowledge and research. This phase will include whole group sessions and workshops designed to facilitate global knowledge exchange, among professionals from diverse fields. All sessions will be led by ISPCAN experts.

      Employing the context inform approach and to enhance the program’s relevance, a brief preliminary questionnaire may be sent to participants in order to identify their primary topics of interest and to measure the impact of this training on your work.
