Peers als Adressatinnen und Adressaten von Disclosure und Brücken ins Hilfesystem

Im Rahmen der öffentlichen Ausschreibung konnten drei Präventionsstellen akquiriert werden. Diese sollen nun Konzepte für die Berücksichtigung von Peers als Adressaten von Disclosure, auf Grundlage der empirischen Ergebnisse (weiter-)entwickeln und erproben. Diese Fachstellen sind:
Wildwasser Augsburg e.V.
Präventionsbüro Ronja des Verein Frauen gegen Gewalt e.V.
Frauennotruf Westerburg

Peers as Recipients of Disclosure and Bridges to Formal Help Systems
The project focuses on disclosure of sexual violence experience between peers. Research´s objectives are to investigate premises and consequences of disclosure and furthermore to develop and evaluate preventive trainings focusing decidedly on peers as recipients of disclosure. The aims of these peer-disclosure focused trainings are twofold. Firstly to facilitate the victims’ access to further support services and secondly the support of both the victims of violence and their adolescent peer recipients of disclosure. The study has two phases. In phase one the researchers collect data on, challenges, insecurities, and problems that might arise from peer disclosure. To do so we will conduct interviews with (1) experts from different counselling settings concerning child sexual abuse, (2) young adults with histories of sexualized violence who first disclosed them to their peers, and (3) adolescent recipients of disclosure. In addition to the interviews, there will be group-discussions with target groups of preventive trainings (4), where adolescents will be asked about expectations, questions, and needs that arise from situations in which a friend discloses experiences of sexual violence. Phase two involves cooperation with specialized counseling centers that work in the field of the prevention of sexual abuse. Based on the researchers findings of the qualitative interviews and group discussions, preventive approaches and trainings will be developed in cooperation with the counseling centers. The researches will evaluate the trainings via standardized questionnaires in order to revise the trainings and increase their effectiveness. As one important initial finding of the first line of research on child sexual abuse in pedagogical contexts funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is that adolescents prefer to disclose experiences of sexual violence to their peers rather than trusted adults (Derr/Hartl 2017), our results will also advance the protection of adolescent recipients of disclosure against emotional overload and enhance peer recipients’ abilities to cope with the descriptions of their peer’s experiences of sexualized violence. This is consistent with the findings of Rau et.al. 2016 and Maschke/Stecher 2018. Even though counseling centers do consider disclosure to peers in their preventive trainings, these considerations based on hands-on knowledge which is not yet systematized as well as empirical knowledge regarding relevant implications is lacking (AMYNA 2016).Background: Research on child sexual abuse in pedagogical contexts funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)
