Webinar: Female Genital Mutilation: Awareness, Prevention, Action
Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) is a form of gender-based violence, child abuse, and a serious human rights violation that affects thousands of women and girls in Canada. This training provides professionals with a clear, evidence-based understanding of FGM/C within the Canadian context, including risk factors, legal obligations, and the realities faced by survivors. Participants will learn how to recognize signs, respond safely and ethically, fulfill duty-to-report requirements, and provide culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, survivor-centred support. Designed for service providers across sectors, this session equips participants with practical tools to protect girls at risk and support survivors with dignity, safety, and care.
Event: Building Safer Communities: Family Violence Awareness Day
Family Service Saskatoon will be presenting Building Safer Communities: Family Violence Awareness Day, a community awareness and education event focused on preventing gender-based violence, at the Warman Home Centre Communiplex. This will be a free event featuring three adult sessions, including workshops about understanding family violence and panel discussions on supporting survivors of family violence, as well as two youth sessions.
Webinar: Considering children's perspectives on contact with their father in the context of post-separation domestic violence
This webinar will present findings from research on children’s experiences and perspectives regarding contact with their father in the context of post-separation intimate partner violence (IPV). We will begin by highlighting the importance of considering children’s views when making decisions about contact with their father and by identifying factors that support their meaningful participation. The webinar will also examine the conditions that help children feel safe and at ease in these situations. Finally, it will explore avenues for supporting a reparation process for children who have been exposed to IPV.
Have you listened to the RESOLVing Violence Podcast yet?
The province of Saskatchewan is home to a vibrant research community and hundreds of organizations and service providers working to prevent, respond to, and assist with recovery from violence and abuse.
Through this podcast, we hope to facilitate that transfer of knowledge from the research community to these applied stakeholders and people with lived experience, to make staying up to date on current research that much more accessible and efficient.
