Sponsored by the college’s Career & Counseling Services division, this seminar will specifically address working with clients who have been victims of sexual assault, but it is also open to anyone who is interested in attending.Speakers will present on the following topics: sexual addiction and sexualized culture; impact of sexual assault on victims; treating sexual assault clients; and a survivor’s story of sexual assault in high school.

This event is, in part, to foster greater awareness of the impact of sexual assault on clients, offer treatment ideas, and to provide career opportunities for students.
