Planning
On November 20-21, more than 300 participants from across BC gathered for our annual training forum. The conference included six expert keynotes and 15 workshops on a broad range of topics related to the physical and emotional safety of clients and workers in the anti-violence sector.
Specific topics included risk assessment, safety planning, gang violence, child protection, working with marginalized communities such as immigrant women and sex workers, and collaboration across sectors.
The Association thanks the Ministry of Housing and Social Development, the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General and the Department of Justice Canada for their financial support.
