Projects

1. To continue our Counselling Survivors On- and Off-Line programme which has emerged from the experience of the Covid-19 lockdown. Lockdown meant that Rape Crisis Centres had to be vacated, and trauma counselling services were forced to move on-line.

   The new RCNI programme using at its core the rape crisis model of specialist sexual violence trauma responses, combines both critical research and training. It will gather evidence and understanding around the impact of dealing with the trauma of sexual violence in a pandemic world, and how practitioners have responded.

2. To continue our work on the Prevention of Sexual Violence. 

   RCNI developed a  Guidance On Prevention for our membership  which was subsequently adapted and became The Guiding Principles on Prevention of the Irish National Strategy on Preventing Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence. RCNI has since used these principals to produce a Prevention Model to assist all those working to effect prevention.
