Info

What the Survivor Should Expect at the Police Station At the police station, a report is entered into the Occurrence Book (OB) and the survivor is issued with a P3 form. The P3 form should be provided free of charge. An OB number should be availed to the survivor. If the survivor has not been to the hospital, it is important that s/he goes there immediately after reporting. Other procedures such as writing a statement can be undertaken after initial treatment has been received. The police should record the statement of the survivor and any witnesses, and the survivor should sign it only when s/he is satisfied with what the police have written. The P3 form should be completed by an authorized health worker based on the clinical notes found in PRC Form. Referrals After acute counseling is done, the counselor should refer the survivor to other qualified professionals as appropriate to the needs of the survivor. The referral network for survivors is wide and includes social services, psychiatrists and other medical specialists, legal services, the criminal justice system and shelters etc 7.5 Counseling and Support Supervision Supervision is important for preventing ‘burn out’ of the counselors and for maintaining high quality communications between the counselors and the survivors. Supervision provides an opportunity for counselors to come together with other professional counseling providers and at least one trained supervisor, to discuss and process issues that arise during counseling of survivors of sexual violence and to monitor the quality of their own service provision over time. Regular personal therapy is also recommended to all practicing trauma counselors in order to cope with secondary traumatization. 24
