Secondary Consultation
How We Help
Ballarat CASA clinicians offer secondary consultation for other professionals working with victim/survivors of sexual assault.
Secondary consultation can help support and facilitate referrals to CASA and support workers in responding to a client’s disclosures of sexual assault. We also offer debriefing around the impacts of client’s disclosures for workers.
We encourage anyone who has been affected by sexual assault to talk someone, whether it is a trusted family member or friend, or us at Ballarat CASA.
