In addition to the standard education sessions listed below, we can design customized educational opportunities to help you achieve your desired learning outcomes. All of our workshops have five key learning outcomes: building community, empathy, leadership, community care and equity skills.
“I liked the scenarios of clear actions to take. I especially appreciated the centring of social location and how oppression interacts with our experience of violence and also how we intervene/respond as community members.”

Begin by listening, respect confidentiality, ask what they need, validate and empathize are the first steps to dealing with disclosures of sexual violence. In this training, participants will learn the difference between disclosure and reporting and how to support someone affected by sexual violence. In addition participants will learn how to refer them to supports on and off campus and how to practice self-care after trauma exposure.

In an increasingly digital world, our reliance on the internet, social media and virtual platforms has become our primary mode of communication and connection. It is important to remember that even as many of our activities transition to a digital environment that we have the right to feel safe and secure anywhere, including online interactions.
Our new Digital Safety workshop provides key ways you can secure the information you are sharing with others using VPNs, encrypted email and enhancing password protection.
