Introduction to Intersections of Gender- Violence

Introduction to Intersections of Gender-Based Violence, Culturally Safe, Trauma-Informed Strategies to Support Newcomers Experiencing Gender-Based Violence in BC-Yukon.

This comprehensive e-learning course equips settlement and integration practitioners in BC and Yukon with the essential knowledge and practical skills to recognize, respond to, and support newcomers experiencing gender-based violence (GBV). Grounded in culturally safe, anti-racist, and trauma-informed frameworks, learners will explore the complex intersections of GBV with newcomer identities, systemic racism, displacement, and cultural challenges.

Through engaging case studies, real-life scenarios, interactive activities, and resource overviews, this course builds practitioners’ capacity to deliver compassionate and effective support. Participants will develop skills in identifying diverse forms and subtle signs of GBV, applying culturally responsive intervention strategies, and leveraging local anti-violence resources to foster collaborative care. Emphasis is placed on empowering service providers to navigate the sensitive dynamics of trauma and cultural diversity with empathy and professionalism.

Designed for both new and experienced practitioners, this bilingual course (offered in English and French) promotes cross-sector collaboration and strengthens ethical, inclusive, and trauma-informed practices. Graduates will be empowered to advocate for survivors, challenge systemic barriers, and contribute to sustainable transformation that promotes equity, safety, and resilience within vulnerable newcomer communities. This course also highlights practical tools for self-care and community engagement to support long-term positive impact and community healing.
