Stopping the Violence Outreach Core Training
This new training has been developed by this Association in collaboration with the BC Yukon Society of Transition Houses. STV Outreach work incorporates supportive counselling, assistance and advocacy with other systems, anti-violence coordination, public education, etc. This Outreach training therefore incorporates information from the STV Counselling training, Community Based Victim Assistance Program Training, Community Coordination for Women’s Safety’s Community Leadership Training, and Transition House Worker training. There will be an emphasis on the particular skills and information that STV Outreach workers have informed us they need.
