The Australasian Services Care Network, together with its partners and supporters extend an invitation for you to join them for Session 6 of their “Virtual International Colloquium on Military Sexual and Other Forms of Abuse”.
This colloquium brings together a range of international thought leaders to help participants to explore the issue of Military Sexual and Other Forms of Abuse and its impact on Military Service Members, Veterans and their immediate families across the 5 Eyes Countries.
The aim of this conversation is to shine a light on the issue and to share what is already known and understood, as well as evidence-informed responses and interventions to address the issue and support those affected by it.
Attendees of ession six will hear from Professor Dominic Murphy, (Head of Research at Combat Stress Specialist Veteran Mental Health Charity, Trustee and Director of Research at The Forces in Mind Trust, and Clinical Director King’s Centre for Military Health at King’s College London, UK). Professor Murphy will be presenting data from two studies. The first explored the health and well-being of a community sample of female veterans living across the UK, particularly focusing on the prevalence and impact of military sexual trauma. The second study presents data from two linked projects that aimed to better understand how to support female veteran survivors of sexual trauma.
These studies explored the best evidence-based therapies for treating female veteran survivors of sexual trauma and then co-produced guidance with survivors to provide recommendations for how best to support female veterans to engage in treatment for sexual trauma.
