(CLOSED) June 12-June 16, 2023 - 40 Hour Training (Hybrid; 2 days online 3 days in person)
The UCASA Sexual Assault counselor 40-hour training is designed for community and system-based sexual assault advocates and law enforcement. Community members are welcome to attend community training events which can be found on our calendar page and check out our YouTube page for additional training and webinars.
The professionalism and expertise of sexual assault advocates are essential to maintaining clients' privacy. The Utah Confidential Communications Act requires that sexual assault advocates have forty hours of sexual assault specific advocacy training. Conversations with victims or alleged victims are privileged only if the advocate has completed forty hours of sexual violence-specific training. We collaborate with local and regional care personnel to provide our Sexual Assault Counselor Training. The training is available to advocates and law enforcement. Our training team includes legal, medical, and human services professionals who facilitate each topic alongside our trained and dedicated staff.
Our training was carefully developed with input from all sexual violence advocates and programs across the state. More specifically, this course offers the following benefits:
- Meets the requirements outlined in the Utah Confidential Communications Act and requirements set forth by Utah's funding agencies.
- Gives attendees information and tools to understand the role of sexual violence advocates.
- Supports attendees in recognizing and combating bias - both explicit and implicit.
- Empowers attendees to maintain the dignity of victims.
- Supports attendees in encouraging victim’s self-advocacy and personal decision making throughout the response processes.
- Situates each participant within their role as an advocate and reinforces their responsibility to the agency, its clients, and to victims.
- Certifies volunteers, staff, and community allies as sexual assault advocates - allowing for privileged, confidential communications with clients.
We are committed to training excellence, and we are confident that this collaborative training solution will be a valuable enhancement to your current volunteer and staff training program.
As a professional training and development organization, we combine instructional expertise with curriculum development skills and an extensive history of advocacy and direct service experience.
Basic Structure
Our Sexual Assault Counselor Training is the result of decades of feedback from professionals who work with sexual violence survivors and perpetrators throughout the state. The curriculum is twenty-four hours of statewide core topics presented by our staff and sixteen hours of community-specific topics facilitated by the needs of the local community. This overall course design is meant to meet the needs of each area, population, and specific community dynamics. We work with local communities to determine the course content of the 16 hours of community-specific content and any continuing education or professional development topics.
Course Overview
The Sexual Assault Counselor Training course is designed to meet the training needs of individuals who might respond to a victim of sexual violence. The course is meant to meet the needs of a variety of volunteers, staff, and allied professionals who consider themselves advocates—whether as law enforcement officers, prosecutors, volunteers, advocates, medical personnel, caseworkers, or educators. However, this course is not designed to provide the intricacies of the investigation, prosecution, evidence collection, or case management. This course is particularly helpful to individuals who provide many different types of services to victims of sexual violence seeking skill-based knowledge and tools for improved response and intervention.
A side benefit of the course is its multidisciplinary appeal to professionals not working directly with sexual violence issues who also want a better understanding of sexual assault intervention concepts and policies. This course is designed and available to all public service, advocacy, and education organizations, along with information about why the course is helpful to them.
Requirements
In order to receive sexual assault counselor training, you must follow the following instructions. This certificate is for you to help empower survivors and use the skills that you receive from this training to input them into your advocacy work.
- MUST have the camera on during training at all times. (except for when self-care needs to come into effect)

La Ley de Comunicaciones Confidenciales de Utah requiere que los asesores de asalto sexual tengan cuarenta horas de entrenamiento específica en asesoría de asalto sexual. Las conversaciones con las víctimas o presuntas víctimas son privilegiadas solo si el asesor/a ha completado cuarenta horas de entrenamiento específica en violencia sexual. Colaboramos con el personal de agencias locales y regionales para brindar nuestro entrenamiento para asesores de asalto sexual. La capacitación está disponible para los defensores y las fuerzas del orden. Nuestro equipo de entrenamiento incluye profesionales en las leyes, medicina y servicios humanos que facilitan cada tema junto con nuestro personal capacitado y dedicado.
Nuestro entrenamiento se desarrolló cuidadosamente con el aporte de todos los asesores y programas de violencia sexual de el estado. Más específicamente, este curso ofrece los siguientes beneficios:
- Cumple con los requisitos descritos en la Ley de comunicaciones confidenciales de Utah y los requisitos establecidos por las agencias de financiación de Utah.
- Brinda a los asistentes información y herramientas para comprender el papel de los asesores de asalto sexual.
- Ayuda a los asesores a reconocer y combatir los prejuicios, tanto explícitos como implícitos.
- Empodera a los asesores a mantener la dignidad de las víctimas.
- Apoya a los asesores a alentar la autodefensa de las víctimas y la toma de decisiones personales a lo largo de los procesos de respuesta.
- Sitúa a cada participante dentro de su rol de asesor y refuerza su responsabilidad con la agencia, sus clientes y las víctimas.
- Certifica a los voluntarios, el personal y los aliados de la comunidad como asesores de asalto sexual, lo que permite comunicaciones privilegiadas y confidenciales con los clientes.
- Estamos comprometidos con la excelencia en el entrenamiento y confiamos en que esta solución de capacitación colaborativa será una valiosa mejora para su programa actual de entrenamiento de personal y voluntarios.
Como organización de entrenamiento y desarrollo profesional, combinamos la experiencia en instrucción con las habilidades de desarrollo del plan de estudios y una amplia historia de asesoría y experiencia de servicio directo.
Estructura basica
Nuestro entrenamiento para asesores de asalto sexual es el resultado de décadas de comentarios de profesionales que trabajan con sobrevivientes y perpetradores de violencia sexual en todo el estado.
