****Thank you for your interest in the upcoming Anti-Violence Project Supporting a Survivor workshop, unfortunately, we have made the difficult decision to postpone upcoming workshops due to the recommendations to limit social gatherings as we make collective efforts to handle the current COVID-19 situation. At this time we have not rescheduled the workshops but if you would like to receive updates on workshops and other AVP services please sign up for our newsletter at https://www.antiviolenceproject.org/subscribe/

Receiving a disclosure can feel intimidating if you don't know how best to respond, which is why the Anti-Violence Project has designed this workshop to address how we can all support the survivors in our lives. In this special edition of our support workshop, we are inviting UVic graduate students to come share ideas and learn together.
Throughout the workshop we will cover the very important differences between support, disclosure and reporting and provide some foundations for supporting survivors of sexualized violence. We will discuss different approaches and tools that can be used when supporting someone, including: active listening, believing survivors, busting myths, showing empathy and making referrals. This participatory workshop also includes time to practice support skills through activities and optional role-playing.
While the focus of this workshop is supporting survivors of sexualized violence, many of the topics and skills we cover will be applicable to support in other contexts.
This free workshop is two and a half hours long and will be held at the University of Victoria Grad House. We have a no late-comer practice. This particular workshop is open to UVic graduate students but we regularly hold workshops that are open to everyone so please check out our website: https://www.antiviolenceproject.org/support-training/
Snacks and tea will be provided!
