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 Two of this podcast training we review four unique types of interventions you can support folks experiencing violence with in different circumstances. We review the bystander training model used by Hollaback (https://www.ihollaback.org/), we look at safety planning around fleeing the home,  how to have a prevention conversation with someone whose behaviours are nearing closer to abusive, and how to get more out of calling the police in situations of imminent harm. We also cover what you can expect to see post intervention and how to continue to support someone in ongoing ways.

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.
