This Australian Institute of Family Studies and Emerging Minds webinar will outline strategies that can use to support non-offending parents following a child’s disclosure of sexual abuse.

This webinar is being held by the Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS).

This webinar will help attendees:

  • build their understanding of the impact of child sexual abuse on parents, the parent-child relationship, and children’s mental health and wellbeing

  • better support non-offending parent/s who are navigating their child’s experience of sexual abuse, including making children’s wellbeing central to your conversations   

  • develop practice skills that will allow you to support parents’ wellbeing and parenting during their child’s recovery from child sexual abuse. 

Presenters: Alisa Hall (National Centre for Action on Child Sexual Abuse), Sophie McEvoy (Relationships Australia SA), Dr Carmela Bastian and Dan Moss (Emerging Minds)

This webinar is co-produced by the AIFS Child Family Community Australia Information Exchange and Emerging Minds in a series focusing on children’s mental health.
