Webinar: Arts for Creative Healing Communities: Gender-based Violence Work and Prevention with Immigrant and Refugee Families
How can creative practices open new pathways to healing, connection, and belonging for immigrant and refugee families? Join us for a rich, visual, and story-driven webinar that brings together two community-based teams—one from Montreal and one from Toronto— who work with families at risk of experiencing gender-based violence (GBV) through artistic interventions. This webinar offers a rare opportunity to learn about arts-based programs offered within the community in two major cities in Canada and help integrate participants into the community. You will hear directly from the facilitators of the HEAL program in Toronto & Art et contes from Montreal, sharing their motivations, lessons learned, and the moments that moved them. This visual storytelling session will capture all the nuances and possibilities of an art-based intervention carried out with dedication to the community.
Webinar: Respect for Self, Others, and Place: A Parsimonious Framework to Promote Health and Well-Being
The ongoing reports of emotional exhaustion in caring professionals provide compelling evidence that innovative preventive efforts to foster well-being are needed now more than ever. The “Tri-Respect Framework” that promotes respect for self, others, and place provides a simple and instrumental tool for health of individuals, relationships, and communities in general. In this webinar, we will review the origin of the “Tri-Respect Framework” and highlight the findings of a recent pilot study with nursing faculty that explored the practicality of this tool, in particular, the component of “respect for self” to increase commitment to self-care in nursing students and faculty. Findings illustrate enthusiasm for the utility of the “Tri-Respect Framework” not only on an individual level but as a framework for examining systems-level factors that impact the well-being of caring professionals.
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.
