Understand trauma reactions and learn tangible skills to support sexual violence survivors at this workshop by AWARE.
About this Event

“Are you sure that happened? Why didn’t you fight back? You should have known better.” These are some common responses survivors of sexual assault have heard, which may further their feelings of doubt, guilt and shame.

It is not always easy for survivors to tell someone about what happened; in fact, for some survivors, it can be especially daunting. So the way their loved ones respond becomes pivotal in their journey of recovery. First response that is sensitive to a survivor’s needs and choices is necessary in preventing re-victimisation.


Especially for this in-person session, we will end with an interactive segment that allows you to practice empathetic first responses through scenario-based role-play.


This Sexual Assault First Responder Training helps familiarise participants with trauma reactions and symptoms to better contribute to a survivor’s well-being. In this workshop, we will share more on the following:

  • Definition of sexual assault and harassment
  • Recognising Singapore’s legal framework
  • Understanding consent
  • Understanding the impact of sexual assault and trauma on survivors
  • Role of a first responder
  • Providing support to survivors of sexual assault
  • Resources available for help
  • Key skills such as ensuring safety, active listening and empathy


We charge a flat $30 fee for each participant, to help us cover trainer costs.

If for financial reasons you require a waiver of this minimum contribution, please email [email protected].

Note as well that we are unable to accommodate transfers and cancellations if participants are unable to attend after payment has been made.


Persons of all genders and nationalities are more than welcome to attend.

We strongly request that all participants commit to the full duration of the 3.5-hour workshop (there are breaks!) to ensure that everyone will get the opportunity to engage in interactive discussions and learn useful skills.
