The Centre for Research & Education on Violence Against Women & Children (CREVAWC) Knowledge Hub Presents
Building Capacity: Interdisciplinary Toolkits and Resources for Gender-Based Violence & Brain Injury Survivors and their Advocates
Date | Time: Tuesday February 18, 2025 | 1:00 to 1:30 pm Eastern Time (ET)
The intersecting experience of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and Brain Injury (BI) is lacking research, public and survivor awareness, comprehensive policies, and supportive programming and resources, despite the commonality and complexity of this intersecting experience. WomenatthecentrE, alongside pan-Canada project partners, identified this gap in research, care and policy. Cross Sectoral Solutions, with funding from the Public Health Agency of Canada has adapted, piloted and evaluated an evidence-based, trauma-informed, interdisciplinary, and survivor led pilot program for GBV survivors with suspected BI. This presentation will showcase both the project, and highlight tools and resources that were developed as a survivor-led cross-disciplinary team, mobilizing our experiential and practice-based knowledge.
Learning objectives:
- Understand the purpose and outcome of Cross Sectoral Solutions Initiative
- Understand the development, purpose, and application of the Supporting Gender-Based Violence and Brain Injury Survivors Toolkit
- Understand the development, purpose, and application of the Responding to Disclosures of Violence Toolkit
This event will run in English with simultaneous French interpretation.
