Webinar: Using An Equity-Focused Population Health Approach to Gender-Based Violence Prevention to enable local public health action
Gender-based violence has significant immediate and long-term impacts on health, yet it has not been systematically addressed by public health systems. This webinar presents a framework developed to enable local public health agencies to respond to the increasing calls to address gender-based violence as a public health priority. While the framework was developed for Ontario’s local public health agencies, it has broad applicability for use by public health organizations in other jurisdictions.

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.
