This course demonstrates credibility through the involvement of the broader mental health practices and education. There is still very little education about male survivors or how to treat them. Gaining understanding and knowing how important the therapist role is to this population is important to therapists. Therapists need to be comfortable with sexuality,  have education in sexuality and be willing to talk about it.
