The online EIM training includes a frank discussion of sexual abuse. If you have experienced sexual abuse and have concerns about viewing this material, please contact the EIM Office at (512)949-2447 or eim@austindiocese.org to discuss alternative training.
The EIM Workshop, titled Fulfilling our Commitment to Heal and Protect, is approximately 2 hours long and was developed to accomplish 3 goals: to reach out to those who have experienced sexual abuse (whether within the Church or not); to explain the commitments the US bishops made in 2002 to help prevent future abuse; and finally, to refresh our understanding of how to recognize warning signs of sexual abuse, interrupt the progression of grooming behavior and to provide tools and resources to respond in the event of a disclosure.
Together we are Fulfilling our Commitment to Heal and Protect.
