Sexual Assault and Violence in Native Youth Populations

Presenter: Wyanet Tasker Assisting young victims of sexual violence can be especially complicated because of the guilt and shame felt. Victims may minimize their experiences or not recognize the incident as traumatic if it did not involve body contact. This webinar will review the types, prevalence, and affects of sexual assault. It will include the age specific layers of confidentiality and mandatory reporting for child and youth victims, as well as getting victims appropriate medical care.
