Join Gwen van de Pas, director and protagonist of her movie "Groomed," for an in-depth session on grooming and the deeply rooted and long-term impact it has on children. Supported by clips from her movie, Gwen provides a unique and much needed perspective that goes far beyond understanding the most important steps in the grooming process. The session will provide an understanding of the deep-rooted confusion in grooming victims' minds and especially, the critical role professionals can play in "ungrooming" victims and helping them transition towards empowered survivorship. "I will never approach my job the same way," is a much-heard reflection after Gwen's presentations and we hope you will join us to experience it for yourself.
