Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) is designed to equip advocates with the knowledge, skills, and sensitivity necessary to respond effectively and compassionately when working with survivors of sexual violence during a crisis. This can be taken supplementally after advocates have received their Sexual Assault Counselor (SAC) Training.
Objectives of training:
1. To provide rape crisis center staff with education on trauma, crisis concepts
2. To focus on trauma-informed survivor safety and stabilization through a culturally-inclusive lens
3. And address safety planning, professional responsibilities, and to advocate practicing your own individual care.
