Statistics show that 23% of women and 8% of men over 18 years of age have experienced sexual violence.

Research shows that 4 in 10 victim-survivors seek advice or support from a general practitioner or other health professional.

They are also often the first point of contact for victim-survivors.

Join our webinar to learn about recognising the signs of sexual assault in a primary care setting, how to respond and where to refer for additional support. Alongside a didactic presentation, a panel of experts and lived experience will run through a case study to assist with learning.
