Yes. RECEs may choose to complete the program alone, with colleagues or with a trusted person. Engaging in reflection and dialogue with colleagues may enhance learning. Each member must complete the knowledge validation test and quiz in their own profile and confirm completion of the program components upon renewal.
Although the program is designed with a focus on prevention, the College recognizes that participating in the program can be emotionally, mentally and physically distressing for RECEs given the sensitive nature of the content. For some, it can be particularly difficult due to lived experience(s). Supporting resources have been designed and developed to provide RECEs with information on:
- how to care for themselves, and possibly other RECEs; and
- how to find professional help for additional support, if required.
For information on supports, review Caring for Self and Others or visit the Sexual Abuse Prevention Program webpage.
