This episode we’re talking about an unashamedly heavy topic. Given the recent events in Australian Parliament, we wanted to talk about how psychologists, friends and family members of people who have been sexually assaulted can respond. How you can best support someone who’s beginning to share their story, even when you don’t know what to say.

If you’d like to skip to a particular topic:
9:45 Common reactions to media coverage of sexual assault & some basic coping strategies
15:30 Responding to disclosures as a psychologist
47:30 Responding as a friend or family member
53:45 Message to survivors who are considering disclosing for the first time
