Assault and SLPs: What We Need To Know

Guest: Kayla Duncan - Kayla, the Director of Communications and Outreach with the Sexual Assault Resource Center, will discuss a topic that we all need to learn about, assault. The statistics for sexual assault, domestic abuse, and sexual harassment in this country are staggering. One in four will have personal experience, which means the other three will know a colleague, a student, a family member, and/or a patient whose life has been impacted by the assault. Therefore, it is our responsibility, not only to ourselves but also to those that we love and those we are called to serve, to become educated about the signs and symptoms, and red flags for potential behaviors, as well as to learn what community resources are available in the event that they are needed. Yes, this is a potentially triggering and difficult topic to know about. Still, Michelle and Kayla promise to add joy and laughter to leave listeners with a better understanding of what to do when and with the hope that we can collaborate to make the world better truly.
