Our training team can teach your organization the skills to identify and address violence
against women, wherever it occurs.
Our group workshops are designed to be interactive, participatory and proactive. The benefits
of this type of training are practical skills for understanding and dealing with abuse and improved
services to your clients.
With our workplace (.PDF) and
non-profit sector (.PDF) training programs, we have trained Boards of Directors, and Executive
Directors, administrators, doctors, lawyers, therapists, educators, case managers, nurses and
front line workers.
We can adapt any training workshop to suit your particular organizational needs.
We are consultants to unions, social service agencies, schools and small businesses. There is
a fee for this service - sliding scale is available. All revenues go back to supporting our crisis line
service and helping women across the province. For more information, contact the Training,
Resource & Outreach Department at (416) 364-4144 x223.
