RDBID is compiling a list of materials and training opportunities that are available for RDBID members who may be interested in re-affirming their organization’s commitment to a harassment-free workplace, and who may be wanting to create a sexual harassment policy. Below are links to a number of resources and training opportunities. RDBID also has materials on preventing sexual harassment in the work place, and guides for the development of work place harassment prevention policies available for members. For more information, please give us a call.
Regina Sexual Assault Centre – First Responder To Sexual Assault And Abuse Training ™
The First Responder to Sexual Assault and Abuse Training ™ model draws from the idea of first aid. The job of the first responder is not to know all the answers, or to counsel the victim, but rather provide information and empower the person who shares their story, allowing them to create their own plan with help from professionals (a counsellor, a doctor, or the police).
