Curriculum: Victim, Survivor, Leader

GEMS’ innovative Victim, Survivor, Leader^TM (VSL^TM) curriculum moves organizations past the CCIP “CSEC 101” curriculum and into specialized service provision with a survivor empowerment/leadership focus, which is at the heart of all of GEMS programming. The VSL^TM curriculum is based on two foundational principles that shape and guide all of GEMS’ work: survivor leadership and Transformational Relationships, which are vital for effective youth development, particularly victims of CSEC.  In this curriculum we examine:

• The Six Core Values of GEMS Programming

Gender Responsive

Trauma Informed

Developmentally Grounded

Strengths Based

Social Justice Oriented

Culturally Competent

• Developing Transformational Relationships
• Victim, Survivor, Leader Model
• Intra-agency Response
• Inter-agency Response
• Survivor Leadership and Survivor-Informed Programming
