1. Myths, prejudices and misinformation

2. Now that we have a role as healthcare professionals in GV, how do you think we could help victims during consultation? Do you think the process is too complicated? Are you afraid of it? That’s why you’re here.

Promoting intrinsic motivation:
❏ Our role is very important (testimony of women) Just sharing the problem with a professional has a therapeutic effect.
❏ We are in a privileged place for the detection and care
❏ We can do what we consider ourselves trained for.
❏ We are not alone: we can share (peers, consultants). We can make referrals to other professionals. We have other resources.
