In response to the shadow pandemic of gender-based violence, experienced over the course of the pandemic, we created Network of Neighbours Violence Prevention Training. This training empowers citizens to help a neighbour experiencing abuse in the home through building their confidence, knowledge and skills to intervene. In Part 1 of our training we go over the fundamentals and basics of relationship violence, understanding the nuances and pathways of violence, the role of power and control, risk factors, how to identify abusive situations and how to engage in harm reduction and allyship for those moments in between larger interventions.

This training was developed and is facilitated by The Feminist Shift with funding from the Canadian Women's Foundation Safe and Stronger Grants.

By the end of this two part podcast you will have gained an understanding of yourself and your assumptions, and will have developed your own signature approach to providing support.
