Join us on Wednesday, June 1oth, as the AVA Webinar Series presents Trauma- and Violence-Informed Research: Principles, Practice, Reflection, featuring Dr. Dianne Lalonde, a researcher, knowledge mobilizer, and advocate committed to survivor-centred and systems-focused approaches to gender-based violence.
Wednesday, August 26, 2026
12 – 1:30pm MST
This webinar explores trauma- and violence-informed (TVI) research as a practical approach for researchers at all levels. Participants will examine how TVI principles, including safety, choice, collaboration, and attention to structural and systemic violence, can be woven throughout the research process. Using applied examples and reflective prompts, the session encourages participants to consider what TVI approaches make possible in relationships with communities, partners, and research teams.
Reflective prompts are invitational, and participants are welcome to engage in whatever way works for them, including listening only.
