Day 3: Re-Visioning Men’s Anger, Rage & Violence, This program will be IN PERSON & has a Prerequisite
Day 3:
Re-Visioning Men’s Anger, Rage & Violence [Prerequisite: Day 2: Therapeutic
Engagement].
A one-day
training on trauma-informed engagement with men.
Re-Visioning
Men’s Anger, Rage & Violence is based on trauma-informed research examining
the links between male childhood abuse and intimate partner violence (IPV).
While many practitioners are aware that most men who are prone to rage and
partner violence have a significant history of childhood abuse, few
intervention programs are derived from this research and application.
This training
focuses on the clinical implications of adopting a trauma-oriented
understanding of IPV. We will fearlessly challenge the dominant discourse of
“power and control” model of understanding through comprehensive picture of the
inner world of men who are assaultive. Using a trauma lens, this training
arguably offers a more nuanced, more respectful and more promising approach to
clinical interventions with this population, whether through individual or
group intervention.

Parlons suicide : formation communautaire
Cet atelier interactif de trois heures atténuera les craintes et la stigmatisation qui nous empêchent de parler de suicide. Ensemble, nous explorerons les façons de reconnaître les signes de détresse, de poser des questions directes, mais bienveillantes, et de créer des espaces propices aux échanges ouverts et exempts de jugement. Les participants apprendront aussi à appuyer la mise en place d’un plan de sécurité en aiguillant la personne en détresse vers les ressources communautaires pertinentes. En sortant de cette formation, vous vous sentirez plus à l’aise, plus confiants et mieux préparés à parler de suicide et à veiller à la sécurité des gens dans votre entourage.

practical tips for connecting clients to care. We’ll cover everything from
preventive health and privacy rights to finding a family doctor—and what to do
when one isn’t available—so you can help clients get the right care at the
right time.
