The Rockhampton counsellors are encouraging people supporting victims of institutionalised sexual abuse to take part in a free workshop next week.
The one-day workshop, Beyond Survival, will take place on February 25 at The Leichhardt Hotel.
It will give an overview of the current Royal Commission investigation, and information on understanding and supporting victims of abuse.
Kim said the workshop was important because for many victims, family and friends were the most important support system.
She said it was particularly important for parents who may blame themselves if their child was a victim of abuse.
