Course Overview
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.
