This three-day certification course provides you with the training, materials, and implementation support needed to introduce a Sexualized Violence Prevention (SVP) education program at your institution.
Experience firsthand a suite of three Sexualized Violence Prevention workshops; acquire foundational knowledge of related theory and research; and develop the facilitation and classroom management skills required to deliver impactful workshops to students, colleagues, or other parties to promote awareness of the issues surrounding sexualized violence prevention and equip participants with the skills needed to play a leadership role in sexualized violence prevention.
During the course, you get to deliver a 15-minute section of two of the Sexualized Violence Prevention workshops using the materials provided. You receive peer and instructor feedback on your workshop delivery.
When you complete the course requirements successfully, you are certified for one year to deliver Sexualized Violence Prevention workshops for your organization and/or to train other trainers. Annual recertification requires you to teach a minimum of one Sexualized Violence Prevention workshop and to complete a short, self-directed online seminar.
Our commitment to you is to update our materials yearly, to provide consultation for up to a year, and to provide an online platform for you to engage with other participants, share resources and best practices, and connect with colleagues across institutions.
The training is delivered in a hybrid format. The course's in-person component is essential, providing students with the participatory experience both as a participant and as a soon-to-be In This Together Facilitator.
The Sexualized Violence Prevention Train the Trainer workshops were developed in response to the Ministry of Advanced Education's requirement that all public post-secondary institutions in B.C. have sexual misconduct prevention policies in place by May 2017. The training is designed to put policy into action and equip community members with the tools required to implement effective sexualized violence prevention programs.
