Thank you for your understanding.
We offer information sessions on a variety of topics to raise awareness of our programs, services and available supports. These sessions are designed to:
- Foster understanding
- Provide access to resources
- Engage your team in meaningful discussions
Our sessions offer valuable insights into how to support individuals affected by sexual misconduct and racism, while promoting awareness and helping to create safer, more inclusive environments.
We are pleased to accommodate groups of various sizes, subject to team availability at the requested date and time.
Depending on the schedule and resources available, the information sessions can also be held in-person. Requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Our outreach coordinator will review your request and contact you to confirm the details.
