Summary
This is not a complete module in the sense that it offers a complete programme
for an independent training. Some information on what to do in a crisis situation
should be part of any training around women survivor’s of violence. The first
part of this module may be added to the training on Individual Counselling of
Sexually Abused Women (module 2), Empowering and Healing Battered Women
(module 3), and Shelters for Women Survivors of War and (Sexual) Violence
(module 7).
The second part is about group work. It discusses the advantages of group work,
compared to individual counselling. But since there are many different groups, on
many different issues, meant for very different populations of women or men,
this module is limited in its goals: it offers several ideas for group facilitators on
handling group formats, group rules and common problems. For guidelines for
specific groups, resort to the existing literature.
