Within the last years, several athletes spoke up regarding their experiences of sexual and interpersonal violence in
sport. Even though sport psychologists are important trust persons for athletes and coaches, the topic of
interpersonal violence is still not included into all educational pathways of sport psychologists. Thus, many applied
working sport psychologists do not feel secure with the topic. On the other hand, sport clubs and federations
urgently need experts in this field who can do trainings with coaches and athletes regarding this growing and
important topic.

This online workshop will provide basic knowledge on interpersonal violence prevention and safeguarding in sport
especially for applied sport psychologists. Topics within the workshop will be examples, numbers and definitions of
interpersonal violence followed by information on prevention and intervention in suspect cases. The workshop will
comprise an interactive format including discussions, group work, role play and working on example cases.
Furthermore, participants will receive material for preventive workshops in order to be able to hold workshops
with coaches and athletes by themselves.
Some federations might recognise this course as further training for licence renewal. Please enquire directly with
your association. They will also provide you with detailed information, such as the scope of recognition.
