SUMMARY:Shifting the Paradigm: Boys and Mens disclosures of sexual trauma
DESCRIPTION:Shifting the Paradigm: Boys and Mens disclosures of sexual trauma \nThis webinar explores boys and mens disclosure of sexual trauma\, drawing on findings from a\nrecent systematic review examining barriers and facilitators that shape disclosure of sexual abuse\nand assaults among boys and men. Attendees will gain an overview of what is currently known\nabout disclosure and help-seeking in this population\, including key challenges that contribute\nto non-disclosure and long delays until disclosure\, as well as the factors that can motivate\nand facilitate disclosure. Barriers are presented across individual-level\, relational\, systemic/\ninstitutional\, and sociocultural domains\, shifting the focus away from individual responsibility\nand towards broader spheres of influence. This includes discussion of how tensions between\nvictimisation and traditional masculine norms can inhibit disclosure\, and current limitations in\nservice accessibility and practitioner education and support. Practical strategies for supporting\nboys and men to feel safe to disclose and seek support are offered\, alongside examples of tailored\nsupport services for boys and men who are victim-survivors. \nPresenter Vita Pilkington \nVita Pilkington (she/her) is a Research Fellow and PhD Candidate\nat the University of Melbourne and within Orygen’s Men’s Mental\nHealth department. Her current doctoral research examines boys’\nand men’s experiences of sexual trauma\, with a focus on disclosure\nand help-seeking. Her main research interests include trauma\, suicidality\,\nstigma\, and mental health service provision. She previously conducted\nresearch surrounding mental health in elite sportspeople\, also focusing\non mental health stigma and barriers to accessing care and support. \nWebinar Registration – Zoom \n

SUMMARY:Shifting the Paradigm Webinar Series: Motivations of perpetrators of child sexual abuse
DESCRIPTION:Four decades ago\, seminal child sexual abuse scholar Finkelhor (1984) claimed that “[t]here\nis nothing in the field of child sexual abuse more perplexing than the question\, ‘Why would\nsomeone molest a child’?” (p. 33). This comment retains its resonance forty years later. This\npresentation will address this question by providing an overview of the motivations of child\nsexual abuse (CSA) perpetrators. After establishing the differences between causes of CSA\nperpetration and motivations\, it will canvas the existing evidence base\, with a focus on how\nperpetrators themselves understand their own behaviour. This presentation will be of particular\nrelevance to those who work with sexual offenders in treatment and/or correctional capacities. \nPresenter/Dr Kelly Richards\, Professor of criminology\nin the School of Justice at Queensland University of\nTechnology. \nDr Kelly Richards is Professor of criminology in the School of Justice at\nQueensland University of Technology. She holds a PhD from Western\nSydney University and is an accomplished criminological researcher\,\nhaving previously held a senior research position at the Australian Institute\nof Criminology. Kelly’s research focuses on better understanding and responding to\nboth victim/survivors and perpetrators of sexual violence. She has led numerous funded\nresearch grants and published widely on this and other related topics. In 2010 she was\nawarded the ACT Government Office for Women Audrey Fagan Churchill Fellowship\,\nand in 2020 she was named a Senior Fulbright Scholar. She is currently an Australian\nResearch Council Future Fellow researching child sexual abuse perpetrator motivations. \nLink: Webinar Registration – Zoom  \n
