What's On in Calgary

Moving Ahead: A cross-sectoral workshop on recognizing and responding to brain injury from intimate partner violence. Given most survivors of physical intimate partner violence may also be living with ongoing challenges caused by brain injury through concussion or strangulation, making sure frontline workers of all kinds are educated and equipped is critical. This free workshop is designed to deliver practical training to create consistent knowledge and awareness of the hidden public health crisis of IPV-BI to frontline workers from a variety of sectors. This interactive session will bring together gender-based-violence, health care, legal, policing, and other professionals for a day of connection and collaborative learning. Participants will leave with practical tools to recognize signs of brain injury, apply trauma-informed approaches, and confidently respond to and support victims, including using adapted screening tools. Join us for this free, interactive day of learning and collaboration with professionals from gender-based violence services, health care, legal, policing, and other sectors. Featuring expert presenters from SOAR: Space is limited, and a light lunch will be provided. Don’t miss this opportunity to build your knowledge, strengthen cross-sector connections, and enhance your ability to support those impacted by intimate partner violence. Register by April 17th.
