Jeremy Sachs explains that sexual abuse often occurs alongside grooming, inadequate support, systemic oppression, and failures within healthcare and criminal justice systems. The conversation emphasizes the importance of creating safety and trust before beginning trauma-specific treatment, with Narrative Exposure Therapy presented as one approach for helping survivors organize and integrate traumatic memories into their life stories. The speakers also highlight transformative justice as a community-based alternative to traditional criminal justice approaches that can help survivors reclaim dignity, agency, connection, and a sense of community.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-associated-links field--type-link field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Associated Links</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9LVdljJBfk" target="_blank">Webinar</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-material-categories field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Material Categories</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/materials/raising-awareness" hreflang="und">Raising Awareness</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/materials/prevention-programming" hreflang="und">Prevention Programming</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/materials/self-care-vicarious-trauma" hreflang="und">Self Care / Vicarious Trauma</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/materials/trauma-informed-approach" hreflang="und">Trauma Informed Approach</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/materials/attitudes-perception-awareness" hreflang="und">Attitudes / Perception / Awareness</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/materials/domestic-violence" hreflang="und">Domestic Violence</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/materials/gender" hreflang="und">Gender</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/materials/mental-health" hreflang="und">Mental Health</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/materials/resilience-healing" hreflang="und">Resilience / Healing</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/materials/sexual-violence" hreflang="und">Sexual Violence</a></div> </div> </div> Fri, 14 Aug 2026 17:46:38 +0000 fdaza 13916 at https://vawnet.org
