LIVE Seeing Beyond the Picture: Advocating for the Victim of Child Sexual Abuse Images Training
- Registration Closed
Live Attendance Only - Over the past decade, the amount of child sexual abuse images/material has increased exponentially. Children have had to endure sexual abuse for the production of these images. Center for Hope’s Baltimore Child Abuse Center and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) will discuss how the impact of child sexual abuse images/material differs from child sexual abuse without image production on the victim. The permanency of the images/material distributed over the internet exacerbates the impact of child sexual abuse. This training is for advocates and those who work with survivors of child sexual abuse images/material and their non-offending caregivers to gain a better understanding of how to advocate in these cases. In addition, participants will learn how NCMEC works with victim advocates and survivors to remove videos and images from the internet, and locate specialized counseling and legal assistance.
