Training curriculum for health care providers for management of intimate partner violence and sexual violence in Sierra Leone- Facilitator Guide
This curriculum equips healthcare providers with essential competencies to respond to intimate partner and sexual violence, using a survivor-centred approach adapted to the Sierra Leonean context. It builds both practical skills and attitudes, emphasizing the LIVES model, clinical care, safety, empathic communication, and understanding survivors’ experiences. While focused on women and girls, it also addresses the needs of boys and men, and its foundational modules are relevant to professionals in other sectors, including police, justice, and social services.
