Description of Training: Leveraging the expertise and insights as the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization, RAINN’s consulting team will deliver a customized, interactive virtual training that provides participants with knowledge and skills to more effectively respond to reports of sexual violence from members of tribal communities in the Commonwealth.
The session will begin with exploring the common misconceptions, and related biases, surrounding sexual misconduct most relevant to tribal communities. Participants will deepen their understanding of the link between societal power dynamics, historic relationships between tribal communities and law enforcement and service providers, and responses to sexual violence. With this foundational knowledge, participants will learn skills and strategies for responding to reports of sexual misconduct in tribal communities in trauma-informed and culturally-conscious ways. These strategies will include practical tools to build rapport in appropriate ways with individuals who come from historically oppressed communities and communication skills that prioritize the needs of survivors.
