    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.
