Webinar: Helping the Helpers: Recognizing and Responding to Brain Injury from Intimate Partner Violence
Many survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) may also be living with ongoing challenges because of brain injury (BI) caused by hits to the head, face, or neck and/or strangulation. It is critical that we make sure workers who encounter survivors are educated and equipped. This webinar is designed to create consistent knowledge and awareness of the hidden public health crisis of IPV-BI across Canada.
Webinar: The Tort of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in Canada: The Supreme Court’s Landmark Ruling in Ahluwalia v. Ahluwalia, and What it Means for Survivors of IPV
This webinar will look at the history of the groundbreaking case Ahluwalia v. Ahluwalia and consider what the majority decision of the Supreme Court of Canada means for survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) in Canada. Designed for non-lawyers, the webinar will help participants understand how the new tort of IPV and the Ahluwalia decision will impact civil and family law cases, and other proceedings in court and beyond.
Webinar: GBV and Disability Justice: Moving Toward Collective Liberation
In June 2025, the Government of New Brunswick joined other provinces in declaring gender-based violence (GBV) both an epidemic and a systemic issue. Disabled women and girls are up to three times more likely to experience GBV than their non-disabled peers, yet the significance of this disparity is often obscured by limited or confusing information in a climate focused on setting priorities for action. This webinar seeks to clarify these complexities and deepen understanding of the intersections between GBV and disability. Drs. Yvonne Simpsn and Stefanie Hunt-Kennedy will examine ableism as a form of structural power and privilege, demonstrating its central role in shaping the prevalence of GBV and the barriers faced by disabled women and girls in accessing support, safety, and justice.
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.
