Do you know how to confidently
respond if someone discloses to you?
Research indicates that 70% of the workforce are currently experiencing or have experienced some form of trauma.*
But here’s the question: Does your organisation know how to respond effectively when someone shares their personal trauma?
If not, the BeCalmer™ Mini Guide is essential for you.
As a child that was being sexually abused, I remember trying to communicate to some of my family members what was happening to me, I just couldn’t get the words out, I didn’t know how to.
I would suffocate with fear.
I needed to know that if I disclosed my worst fears, that I would be believed unconditionally.
The benefits of BeCalmer™
Why learn about disclosures?

- Reduce management stress
- Improve workplace culture
- Lower the risk of legal repercussions
Who is it for?
The information gained empowers those responsible for the care of others to confidently and empathically know what to do and how to respond if a child or adult takes the courageous step to disclose. Here are just some of the people it would benefit;
- Individuals

Empowers individuals and organisations to respond effectively
“As a researcher involved in a range of studies over 30 years, I can say how important it is to think about how as individuals, and as organisations, we can create safe and supportive spaces for children and young people to talk about the adversities they have experienced.
The BeCalmer™ framework’s emphasis is on empowering individuals and organisations to respond effectively when someone discloses an experience of abuse. From my experience as a chief investigator on the Australian Child Maltreatment Study (www.acms.au), we know that all forms of child maltreatment are much more common than many realised, and 28.5% of Australians have experienced child sexual abuse. We have to do better with our efforts to prevent abuse and neglect from happening – including child sexual abuse.”

A Well-Structured, Easy-to-Understand Step-by-Step Guide for Adults to Respond When a Child Speaks Out
“How an adult initially reacts when a child (or indeed another adult) discloses can impact on what happens next. Often, children are groomed to not speak out, so when they do it is critical to ‘be calm’ and respond positively. No matter the age of the individual disclosing, it is important to calmly listen and provide support while managing the risk and making the appropriate reports to authorities. The BeCalmer™ Framework for responding to disclosures of child sexual abuse is a well-structured, easy to understand step by step guide for adults to effectively respond when a child speaks out.”
