Supporting Survivors Training and Facilitator Guide: Preventing and Responding to Sexual Violence in B.C. Post-Secondary Institutions was collaboratively created as part of the BCcampus Sexual Violence and Misconduct (SVM) Training and Resources Project. The project was led by BCcampus and a working group of students, staff and faculty from B.C. post-secondary institutions. It was funded by the BC Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Training (AEST).

This guide is an adaptation of Responding to Disclosures of Sexual Assault by AMS Student Society of UBC Vancouver, Sexual Assault Support Centre (AMS SASC). It was shared under a Memorandum of Understanding with BCcampus to be adapted as an open education resource (OER) for the B.C. post-secondary education sector.

We would also like to acknowledge the original Responding to Disclosures of Sexual Assault training was a co-creation between the Ending Violence Association of BC (EVA BC) with the University of British Columbia and AMS SASC. The Listen, Believe, Empower framework was initially developed as part of EVA BC’s Sexual Assault Disclosure Response Practice Tips resource series, developed with funding from Women and Gender Equality Canada.

The enhancements made to this resource were informed by the Evaluating Sexualized Violence Training and Resources: A Toolkit for B.C. Post-Secondary Institutions developed by the Sexual Violence Training and Resources working group.
