Are you interested in enhancing the skills to recognize and respond to gender-based violence?
The Centre for Research & Education on Violence Against Women & Children is offering a live facilitated learning program, Capability-based courses: Developing skills to recognize and respond to gender-based violence!
Registration for a new course is open:
Understanding and Responding to Young People with Childhood Experiences of Intimate Partner Violence
About the course:
This course begins with an overview of what is currently known about the potential developmental impacts of CEIPV on young people from birth to young adulthood, then moves to hearing from the perspectives of young people about what supports they need for healing and the development of resilience. Participants will experiment with a Virtual Gaming Simulation on their own and then we will discuss the experience and learnings within the next session and break down overarching skills in concrete responses in practice. The next session will provide an opportunity for members to individually participate in a live simulation session with the opportunity for immediate feedback and debriefing and to directly apply concepts learned from the course. The final session will provide the opportunity for participants to share their learnings as a group.
Who is this course for?
Anyone who is working with young people who may have childhood experiences of IPV and would benefit from direct skill application and personal development. Although the simulation scenarios involve both short and long-term intervention environments, the skills demonstrated and discussed are applicable in a variety of contexts with individuals working with young people.
