Referring For Therapy: Unpacking Acronyms and Finding the Limits
For many survivors of sexual violence, finding a therapist can be an important step in the healing journey. As advocates, assisting clients in researching options for therapy is not always easy. In some cases, the level of care that would be appropriate for a client is higher than what our agencies can provide. This training discusses such situations and explores how to determine when to keep a case and when to escalate to a licensed clinician.
