This course is designed to assist and empower professionals across diverse resource settings – low, medium, and high – to enhance their community's response to child sexual abuse, exploitation and trafficking.
Overseen by Dr. Greenbaum, ICMEC’s Medical Director and a retired child abuse physician, these sessions are a crucial component of the HEROES project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, which creates solutions for prevention, investigations and assistance for victims of child sexual abuse and trafficking crimes.
The goal of this series is to improve both short and long-term outcomes for children who experience sexual violence. We will introduce a new and adaptable framework aimed at supporting a wide spectrum of community professionals in designing a multidisciplinary collaborative protocol, and developing a functioning multi-agency team.
The series will explore components of the framework and offer access to the framework itself, along with the accompanying interactive workbook for developing tailored protocols.
This course is brought to you as part of the HEROES project, funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101021801. This project is 3-year long and is coordinated by the Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
ICMEC is one of the Consortium members in this project, and as part of it, focuses on activities related to prevention, awareness raising, capacity building and training, to better combat CSA/CSE and THB.
