Collaborative Training today!! We are excited to welcome Sue Harris, R.N. Ph.D. and Jerri Sites!

Sue Hardie R.N. Ph.D. is speaking on the Child Abuse Accommodation Syndrome - a model for understanding the child’s predicament in the dynamics of sexual victimization #CSAAS

Contrary to our adult expectations that a victim would seek help, many never tell anyone in their childhood. They fear that they would be blamed for it or they would not be believed and that a parent would not be able to protect them from retaliation - Sue Hardie RN PhD

If we expect a child to yell for help, protect himself or immediately disclose abuse, we are ignoring the fundamental helplessness and subordination of children within authoritarian relationships - Sue Hardie RN PhD #CSAAS #Silent_survivors

Our next speaker is Jerri Sites MA on what investigating team members can do when a child recanted #CollaborativeTraining

Recantation is the denial of abuse or refusing discuss abuse after a disclosure has been made #CollaborativeTraining

The relationship between child and abuser has direct impact on delayed disclosure and recantation - Jerri Sites, MA #CollaborativeTraining

Our job is to accommodate a child’s disclosure process - Jerri Sites, MA #CollaborativeTraining

Caregiver support is the best predictor of a child’s adjustment and resilience - Jerri Sites MA #CollaborativeTraining
