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.
Webinar: Survivor's Rights in the Criminal Justice System: Reclaiming Power, Demanding Change
Survivor’s Rights in the Criminal Justice System: Reclaiming Power, Demanding Change, is a 60-minute survivor-led, trauma- and violence-informed session grounded in Carrie’s lived experience and advocacy work. It explores the gap between survivors’ rights on paper and the reality of systemic injustice, highlighting how the criminal justice system often retraumatizes rather than protects. Through personal storytelling, critical reflection on institutional failures, and a call for transformative, survivor-led change, this presentation invites advocates, educators, and community members to move beyond awareness toward action. A 30-minute interactive Q&A will follow, and attendees will receive a toolkit of post-webinar resources to support continued learning and advocacy.

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.
