In this episode, Patti Tutalo and Pam Kern will discuss the topic of reporting mechanisms for sexual assault, bullying and harassment in a conversation moderated by Eva Lianne Veldkamp. Patti will explain why it is important to remove any obstacles that may prevent people from using a reporting mechanism. Pam will share her expertise and experience as a trauma psychotherapist and provide us with insights to understand why victims often do not report. She will talk about how trauma leaves an imprint on the brain neurologically and affects psychological behavioral responses.
