Resilience Training Institute
All professionals and service providers should feel equipped to support survivors, and all survivors should be able to count on trustworthy, specialized institutional responses. In 2018, we established the Resilience Training Institute (RTI) in order to meet the urgent need among Chicago professionals and service providers for formally structured, high quality training in sexual violence response and prevention.
60-Hour Medical Volunteer Training
Resilience’s Volunteer Medical Advocates are on-call to provide crisis support in emergency departments throughout Chicago. These advocates provide emotional support to survivors of sexual violence as well as information/resources regarding their medical and legal rights and options. These volunteers are trained through our 60-hour Crisis Intervention training and are a critical component of the healing process for countless survivors throughout Chicago.
